The Kebbi State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended several top officials, including its chairman, over allegations of misconduct, financial mismanagement, and poor leadership.
At a press briefing 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.
He explained that the decision followed extensive consultations with party stakeholders who expressed concerns about the officials’ actions.
According to Muhammad, the suspended leaders were accused of diverting party funds for personal use, making unilateral decisions without the State Working Committee’s approval, and failing to uphold transparency, accountability, and party unity.
“They have failed to position the ADC for political relevance in Kebbi State,” he alleged.
Following the suspension, the party appointed Abdulrazaq Abubakar Isah Iko as Acting Chairman and Adamu Aliyu as Acting Secretary.
The party also urged the public not to transact any party business with the suspended officials and called on INEC and security agencies to clamp down on early political campaigns that violate the Electoral Act.
