Senator Abdullahi Adamu has resigned as the Senator representing Nasarawa West in the 9th Senate.

Senator Abubakar Kyari has also relinquished his position as the lawmaker representing Borno North.

The lawmakers announced their resignation in separate letters read by Senate President Ahmad Lawan during plenary on Tuesday.

Until his election as APC Chairman, Adamu chaired the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development.

Kyari, on the other hand, was the Chairman of the Committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT). 

 Adamu’s letter read, “It is with utmost respect and appreciation I inform you that consequent upon my victory as National Chairman at the just concluded convention of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), on the 26th of March, 2022, I hereby resign formally as the Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria representing Nasarawa West Senatorial District with effect from 1st April, 2022.

 “I feel a sense of duty and obligation to convey through this letter, my appreciation for the cooperation and guidance I received from you as Chairman of the National Assembly throughout my official and private association with you.

 “As I leave the Senate, I cannot easily forget the change and style of leadership that you brought since becoming the Senate President of the Ninth Senate.

 “Your ability to forge the deep-rooted bi-partisan approach on all issues which you chaired deliberations speaks volumes of your chemistry as a leader.
