Senator Abdullahi Adamu, who represented Nasarawa West Senatorial District in the Senate, has resigned.

Following his election as the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on March 26, he submitted his resignation letter.

Adam Adamu stated that his resignation will take effect on April 1, 2022.

The Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, read the letter at the plenary on Tuesday.

In the letter, praising the Senate President's charismatic leadership, Adamu wrote, "I must commend you for your dynamic leadership in which you treat all Senators equally irrespective of political difference."

Until his resignation, Senator Abdullahi Adamu was a two-term governor of Nasarawa State and a third-term senator in the Senate.

With the exit of Senator Adamu, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was expected to conduct a by-election within a statutory period of three months to find a replacement.
