APC national legal adviser reportedly resigns, details emerge

The national legal adviser of All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed El-Marzuq, has resigned from his position in the party.

The Punch reported that El-Marzuq resigned from the ruling party’s National Working Committee (NWC) on Wednesday, August 2nd, 2023.

The legal icon who is believed to be an ally of the former national chairman of APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, reportedly threw in the towel under some form of pressure, following the exit of Adamu, The New Telegraph report added.

Deputy national organising secretary of the APC, Nze Chidi Duru, however, confirmed the report, Vanguard reported.

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

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

Meanwhile, the 12th National Executive Committee (NEC), meeting of the party, which is currently underway in Abuja, is expected to name a replacement.
