Kaduna ADC Expels Deputy Chairman, 8 Others

Kaduna State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expelled its deputy chairman, Ahmed Tijani Mustapha and eight other members from the party over alleged misconduct.
The expulsion of the members was part of the resolutions reached by the party during its meeting in Kaduna.

ADC state leadership alleged that the expelled members which, included the state publicity secretary of the party, Idris Musa, were found guilty of alleged gross misconducts such as insubordination, holding illegal and secret meetings to usurp leadership, falsification of documents, extortion of members of the party which are capable of tarnishing the image of the party.

Other expelled members are, the state vice chairman zone 1, Sulaiman Abdullahi; state treasurer, Gambo Sani; state financial secretary, Magaji Maiwada; the state legal adviser, Danlami Dabai Musa.

Others who also appeared in the expulsion list were the state coordinator of the PWD, Saura Muhammed; the state deputy youths leader, Ibrahim Muhammed and Mansur Gaga.

Addressing a press conference shortly after its meeting, the chairman of the party, Elder Patrick Ambut, maintained that the leadership of ADC in Kaduna State remains committed to peace, discipline, and the rule of law as enshrined in the party’s constitution.

Ambut explained that the actions of the deputy chairman was an abuse of office, impersonation, adding that those actions are tantamount to causing disharmony within the party in the state and the North West zone at large.

“As law abiding members of the ADC party, we are committed to upholding the Constitution of the party and ensuring the integrity of our party’s structure,” he said.

This is just as he insisted that the deputy chairman action is a gross violation of the ADC Constitution and contrary to established party procedures.

“The Deputy Chairman acted without due process, as he lacks the constitutional authority to convene any meeting or issue such directives,” the ADC chairman stressed.
