National publicity secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Bolaji Abdullahi has resigned from the party. Abdullahi announced his resignation hours after denying his exit from the party. Political observers said Abdullahi’s resignation was expected, with insinuations of him being a “loyalist” to senate president Bukola Saraki who left the APC for PDP. Abdullahi was minister of youth and sports under the Goodluck Jonathan administration. He assumed office as APC national publicity secretary in January 2018.
