Kebbi ADC Sacks Chairman, Top Officials Over Misconduct, Fund Misuse
The Kebbi State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has removed key members of its leadership over allegations of financial mismanagement, abuse of office, and poor leadership.
Speaking at a press briefing in Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday, the State Publicity Secretary, Jamilu Muhammad, announced the immediate suspension of State Chairman, Sufiyanu Bala, Deputy Chairman, Junaidu Muhammed Mudi, and State Secretary, Hawwa’u Muhammed.
According to Muhammad, the decision followed “extensive consultations with party stakeholders” after mounting concerns about the officials’ conduct.
He accused the trio of diverting party funds for personal use, taking unilateral decisions without the consent of the State Working Committee, and failing to maintain transparency, accountability, and party unity.
“They have failed to position the ADC for political relevance in Kebbi State,” Muhammad alleged.
The party has appointed Abdulrazaq Abubakar Isah Iko as Acting Chairman and Adamu Aliyu as Acting Secretary to steer its affairs pending further resolutions.
The ADC also issued a public warning against conducting any party business with the suspended officials and urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to crack down on early political campaigns in violation of the Electoral Act.
This development marks a significant shake-up in the party’s Kebbi State leadership as it seeks to reposition ahead of the next electoral cycle.
