“But I have not tendered my resignation,” Abdullahi told Premium Times by telephone Tuesday night. “And I did not tell anyone I have done so.”

“It is not true that I have resigned and let me emphasis that there is no iota of truth in that report. I can understand where the speculation is coming from, perhaps because I was absent during the NWC meeting on Monday.

“However, the speculators didn’t know that I told my colleagues that I was away in Kwara State.

“I want to put it on record that I came through the front door and if I want to leave, I will leave through the front door,” Abdullahi clarified.

Abdullahi, who was reelected spokesperson for the APC at the party’s national convention last month, has been a key ally of Mr Saraki for years.

In 2014, he was fired from President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet as sports minister, after Saraki left the then-ruling Peoples Democratic Party for the APC, which was then the newly-emerged main opposition. His loyalty to Saraki is believed to have cost him his ministerial job.
