The Kebbi State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended several high-ranking officials over serious allegations of financial mismanagement and poor leadership.
At a press conference held in Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday, the State Publicity Secretary, Jamilu Muhammad, announced the suspension of the party chairman, Sufiyanu Bala, Deputy Chairman, Junaidu Muhammed Mudi, and Secretary, Hawwa’u Muhammed. Muhammad explained that the suspension followed extensive consultations with key party stakeholders.
“We are taking this action due to the trio’s alleged diversion of party funds for personal use, unilateral decision-making, and failure to ensure transparency and accountability within the party,” Muhammad said. “Their actions have undermined the unity of the party and hindered its relevance in Kebbi State.”
He further added, “They have failed to position the ADC for political relevance in Kebbi State, and their misconduct has left the party in a state of disarray.”
In response to the suspensions, the ADC appointed Abdulrazaq Abubakar Isah Iko as Acting Chairman and Adamu Aliyu as Acting Secretary.
The party has also warned the public against engaging with the suspended officials and urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to take action against any early political campaigns violating the Electoral Act.
