PRESS RELEASE

NRM EXPOSES POLITICAL JOBBERS

The attention of the National Rescue Movement (NRM) has been drawn to a publication by one Iliyasu Adamu, masquerading as leading the northern caucus of the party pledging support for Edozie Njoku’s fake leadership.

Ordinarily we would not have dignified the said Iliyasu Adamu who obviously is a political jobber that must have been sponsored by the embattled Edozie Njoku, who is desperately seeking relevance to the illegality perpetrated in connivance with Isaac Udeh, the former National Chairman of National Rescue Movement; but to avoid the situation where unsuspecting and ignorant members of the party will be misled by this political propaganda, we have decided to clarify issue as follows:

1. That the Iliyasu Adamu has ceased to be a member of our great party, having been expelled from the party since 2022, when a validly constituted National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting, chaired by Mr. Isaac Udeh who was then the National Chairman of the party. Funny enough it is the same Udeh that has turned the same Adamu to a mere tool of propaganda.

2. It is instructive that there is nothing called Northern Caucus in NRM, as we have a united National Executive Committee and respective State Executive Committee of the party. Hence, the so-called Northern Caucus of NRM only exists in the imagination of the political jobbers.

3. The entire National Executive of our great party, National Rescue Movement as well as the respective State Executive Committee are firmly working for the progress of the party and had expressed disgust at the conspiracy and illegality perpetrated by Edozie Njoku and Isaac Udeh in a futile attempt to illegally highjack the party leadership through backdoor. We are all against the illegality and will continue to stand against it, as nobody can put anything on nothing and expect it to stand; as if Nigeria is totally a Banana Republic.

4. Out of those claiming to be part the so-called members of the Northern Caucus of NRM, only one person's name was mentioned in the publication. Of course, just like the Udeh and Njoku gathered none members of the party in a jamboree and tagged it an "Emergency Convention", they have in their characteristics gathered none members of the party again and called them Northern Caucus, a coinage that is strange when it comes to the structure of the party, NRM.

In the light of the above, we urge members of the public to disregard the said publication, which is merely a paid propaganda, taking advantage of the poverty mentality of the actors involved who are mere political jobbers as they are always known.

Once, again we wish to categorically and fundamentally assert that all the members of the National Management Committee (NMC), National Executive Committee (NEC) as well as members of State Executives are united towards building a greater NRM and against the illegality of the duo of Njoku and Udeh.
