As the National convention of the All Progressive Congress got underway on Saturday, all the chairmanship aspirants have stepped down for the former Governor of Nasarawa State Senator Abdulahi Adamu.
This was just as uncertainties still hung in the air at the Eagles Square venue of the convention as at Saturday morning.
Former Governor of Benue State George Akume in a letter on behalf of other seven aspirants, said they have all stepped down for the preferred candidate of the President.
This followed the meeting of President with all the Chairmaship Contenders Friday night.
The letter reads partly:
