Abdullahi Adamu, the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, has stated that he has chosen to retire from active politics in the nation after developing allergies to political activities.
Adamu made the revelation on Saturday in Lafia during the presentation and launch of a book titled ‘Progressive Governance: Showcasing the Achievements of His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State 2019–2023’, written by Abdullahi Tanimu.
Speaking on the book’s content, which has 230 pages and 23 chapters, the former APC national chairman, who was the state’s first civilian governor, praised the author for his efforts in putting down all of the governor’s achievements since he was elected.
While noting that the incumbent governor had consolidated the achievements of his predecessors and improved on them, Adamu urged the residents of the state to continue to support and pray for the governor and his cabinet members in order for them to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.
He said, “I am not only a retiree but I am out of politics. I’m beginning to develop little allergies for political activities now and political speeches.
“So, forgive me, I will not make any political statements beyond asking for further and more support for the governor of the state.
“He needs all your prayers and goodwill to be able to succeed. So, to encourage the author for his good work, I will launch 20 copies of the book for one million naira.”
