The Kaduna State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of orchestrating a plot to infiltrate and weaken the opposition in the state.
Addressing journalists after a leadership and stakeholders’ meeting in Kaduna, the ADC National Vice Chairman (North-West), Hon. Jafar Sani, alleged that the APC was sponsoring elements within opposition parties to create internal crises and frustrate ADC’s reorganization efforts.
“Some coalition partners have been sponsored to institute a court case against certain leaders, including Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and others. The same mercenary group has illegally claimed to have suspended the ADC State Chairman, Elder Patrick Didam Ambut, as part of a broader plan to destabilize the party,”
Party endorses expulsions, blacklists Members
Sani reaffirmed the expulsion of members accused of insubordination and anti-party activities, endorsing the State Working Committee led by Elder Patrick Didam Ambut.
“After reviewing all recent developments, we endorse the expulsion of the Deputy Chairman, Alhaji Ahmed Tijjani Mustapha, and eight others,” he said.
He further disclosed that Hon. Adamu Ahmed Dattijo, Alhaji Suleiman Abdullahi, and Senator Musa Bello had been blacklisted for filing a court case against Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Jaafaru Sani, and Bashir Saidu without first exhausting the party’s internal dispute resolution mechanisms.
Sani cautioned coalition members and the public against recognizing or engaging with the blacklisted individuals on any ADC-related matters, while also announcing the reinstatement of Senator Nenadi Usman and Alhaji Muhammad Bashir Saidu as Chairman and Co-Chairman of the ADC coalition, respectively.
Ambut reaffirms unity ahead of 2027 elections
Earlier, the ADC State Chairman, Elder Patrick Didam Ambut, reaffirmed that the party remains strong and united, vowing not to tolerate indiscipline or actions driven by personal interests.
“ADC is the vehicle that will take us to 2027 and beyond. We cannot allow a few individuals to derail this movement,” Ambut stated.
