APC National Legal Adviser Resigns

APC national legal adviser has resigned.

 

Glamtush reports that the National Legal Adviser of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Ahmed El-Marzuk, has resigned from the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

This online newspaper gathered that El-Marzuq, believed to be an ally of former National Chairman of APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, reportedly threw in the towel on Wednesday.

Sources at the national headquarters of the party in Abuja confirmed that the legal icon has been under some form of pressure following the exit of Adamu.

The erstwhile national legal adviser was in the news three months ago when he recommended the expulsion of former National Vice Chairman for Northwest, Mallam Salihu Lukman, over his decision to take the party and his leadership to court.

El-Marzuq’s suggestion was contained in a leaked ‘legal opinion’ written to Adamu dated 28th April, 2023.

His resignation was the fourth after the exit of Adamu, Lukman and the immediate past National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore.

Deputy National Organising Secretary of the APC, Nze Chidi Duru, however, confirmed the report.

Following a series of calls to him and a number of other NWC members to authenticate the report, Duru replied via text message to confirm El-Marzuq’s departure.

“Yes,” he said but declined to comment further.
