The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu, has reacted to a viral video that some people claiming he was stripped naked by some aggrieved residents of Nasarawa State.
Newsflash Nigeria reports that a video clip went viral on Friday evening, showing the moment some yet-to-be-identified persons tore down the kaftan of a party chieftain.
Newsflash Nigeria gathered that the man in the viral video is identified as Alhaji Abubakar Giza, a chieftain of the APC in Nasarawa State.
The party chieftain is said to hold the traditional title of Ciroman Giza.
Giza was an elder statesman and an APC stalwart who had been a very strong pillar of support to the government of Nasarawa State.

Adamu, however, in a statement on Saturday morning through his Personal Assistant on New Media, Malam Nata’ala Mohammed, faulted those insinuating he was the one in the viral video clip.
Mohammed explained that the viral video was taken from an unfortunate Lafia Emir’s palace event. In a telephone interview with newsmen, Mohammed said those making such allegations were not honest to themselves and were mischievous in character, adding that “they are only seeking relevance.”
He said: ”A viral video of a man that was stripped naked on Thursday, Dec. 8 at the Emir of Lafia’s palace, which was also insinuated and suspected to be the APC National Chairman, is false.
”It was the mere imagination of mischievous people who were unfamiliar with the physical look of Sen. Abdullahi Adamu.
”This unfortunate misplacement of the true physical look of the person of Adamu is not in any way to be linked to him,” Mohammed said.
