The National Legal Adviser for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed El-Marzuk has resigned from the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).
It was learned that El-Marzuk’s resignation on Wednesday came after some of his colleagues insisted he should step down due to allegations against him.
The party’s 12th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, currently in progress in Abuja, is set to name a replacement.
This is coming weeks after the National Chairman of the ruling party, Abdullahi Adamu and the National Secretary, Iyiola Omisore resigned from the party following issues related to finances of the party linked to the leaders.
Following their resignation, there had been push for the former Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje to take over as the National Chairman of the party.
There are indications that Ganduje’s call to take over the leadership sit has the support of President Bola Tinubu.
