At a press briefing held Tuesday in Birnin Kebbi, the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Jamilu Muhammad, announced the suspension of the party’s Chairman, Sufiyanu Bala, Deputy Chairman, Junaidu Muhammed Mudi, and Secretary, Hawwa’u Muhammed.
According to Muhammad, the decision came after extensive consultations with party stakeholders.
He accused the trio of diverting party funds for personal use, making unilateral decisions without approval from the State Working Committee, and failing to uphold the principles of transparency, accountability, and unity.
“They have failed to position the ADC for political relevance in Kebbi State,” he stated.
In the interim, the party has appointed Abdulrazaq Abubakar Isah Iko as Acting Chairman and Adamu Aliyu as Acting Secretary.
The ADC has cautioned the public against conducting any official business with the suspended officials and has alerted INEC and security agencies to clamp down on premature political campaigning in violation of the Electoral Act.
This ADC Kebbi crisis exposes deeper rifts within the party’s state structure as it struggles to maintain its political footing ahead of the 2027 elections.
