African Democratic Congress Dismisses Allegations Of Leadership Crisis

African Democratic Congress (ADC) has denied reports making the rounds that it is faced with leadership crisis at national and state levels.

A member of the party’s Board of Trustees (BoT), Senator Abubakar Umar Tutare, described the allegations as unfounded and the handiwork of political detractors. He said he was unaware of any crisis within the ADC, either at the national or state levels.

Senator Tutare, who was speaking to newsmen at the Taraba State ADC Secretariat in Jalingo, insisted that the reports were fabricated by “mischief makers” who have nothing meaningful to contribute to Nigeria’s development.

“I am not aware of any leadership tussle in ADC and I have not seen any. It’s a rumour; people are telling you lies. Whatever thing that APC will do to destroy ADC will fail,” he said.

He noted that, the ADC is made up of individuals who have served in various capacities in government and are well-equipped to reposition the country.
According to him, the party is committed to advancing Nigeria’s development and restoring hope to citizens.

“It is unfortunate that we have a country where leaders don’t have the interest of the common man. Nigerians have seen how the APC is ruling us and destroying the country. I am calling on Nigerians to come out and vote out this government,” he stated.

Commenting on concerns that Nigeria may be drifting toward a one-party system, Tutare condemned the notion, accusing the ruling party of attempting to dominate the political space.

“We are challenging them, and by the grace of God, we are going to defeat them in the general elections. We are going to have 18 House of Assembly members in Taraba State. ADC is fully prepared for the fight,” he added.

Senator Tutare disclosed that he is in Jalingo to assess the level of preparation for the unveiling of the new State ADC Secretariat.

As leader of the coalition in Taraba State, he said, it was important to ensure all arrangements for the event were in place.
