Tinubu meets Adamu, Omisore in Abuja

President Bola Tinubu has held a meeting with former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu, and former national secretary of the party, Iyiola Omisore, at the presidential villa in Abuja.
Both men arrived together for the meeting and were seen leaving after the session at about 1.30pm on Tuesday.
Adamu and Omisore resigned from their positions a week ago, following a meeting of the APC national working committee (NWC).

There are allegations of funds mismanagement against the duo.
Adamu was said not have accounted for huge funds collected from APC members seeking elective posts ahead of the last general elections.

The resignations of both men fuelled reports of upheaval within the party.
However, the APC dismissed the insinuations as speculative.
