BIRNIN KEBBI — The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kebbi State has suspended its chairman, Engineer Sufiyanu Bala, his deputy, Junaidu Muhammed Mudi, and the state secretary, Hauwa Muhammed, over alleged anti-party activities and allowing “Abuja politicians” to dominate the party.
Addressing journalists in Birnin Kebbi, the party’s publicity secretary, Jamilu Muhammed, said the decision was reached during an extraordinary meeting of loyal members and stakeholders who had been with the ADC long before the arrival of what he described as “Abuja impostors.”
“We announce the immediate suspension of Sufiyanu Bala, his deputy, and secretary Hauwa from the party with immediate effect,” Muhammed stated.
He accused the suspended leaders of sidelining other executives in decision-making and opening the door for outsiders to take control of the party’s affairs.
“We will not, after tailoring the party to its present status, allow Abuja politicians to dominate it,” he said.
Following the suspension, the party appointed Abdulrazaq Abubakar Isah Iko as interim chairman and Adamu Aliyu as acting secretary pending the conduct of a new congress.
The Kebbi ADC also warned the suspended members to desist from parading themselves as party officials or carrying out any activities in the party’s name.
It further condemned political gatherings organised by the trio, alleging that such actions violate the Electoral Act.
