Crisis Rocks Kaduna ADC As Deputy Chairman, 8 Others Booted Out Over ‘Anti-Party Activities

The decision was made during an emergency session of the State Executive Committee (SEC) held in Kaduna on Wednesday. According to party insiders, the move was “a necessary step to restore order and discipline” within the party.

Those expelled include the State Publicity Secretary, Idris Musa; Vice Chairman (Zone 1), Sulaiman Abdullahi; State Treasurer, Gambo Sani; Financial Secretary, Magaji Maiwada; Legal Adviser, Danlami Dabai Musa; Coordinator of Persons with Disabilities, Saura Muhammed; Deputy Youth Leader, Ibrahim Muhammed; and Mansur Gaga.

In a statement, the SEC accused the expelled members of activities that undermined the unity and lawful operations of the ADC in Kaduna and the wider North-West region. They were allegedly involved in secret meetings to stage a leadership coup, forgery of official documents, and extortion of funds from members, acts deemed contrary to the party’s constitution.

Speaking to journalists after the meeting, the State Chairman of the ADC, Elder Patrick Ambut, said the party would no longer tolerate actions that threaten its cohesion.

“As committed members of the ADC, we must uphold the constitution of our party and protect its integrity. No individual, regardless of their position, is above the party’s laws,” Ambut stated.

He accused Mustapha of abusing his office and engaging in impersonation and divisive acts capable of destabilizing the North-West structure of the party.

“These offenses represent clear violations of the ADC constitution and established party procedures,” he added.

Following the expulsions, the SEC appointed the Deputy State Publicity Secretary, Alex Tagwai, as Acting Publicity Secretary to ensure continuity in communication and operations.

Ambut noted that the decision received unanimous approval from the SEC, local government chairmen, and party stakeholders.

He urged all members to remain loyal and law-abiding, warning that further acts of disobedience or sabotage would attract strict disciplinary measures.
