The factional leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State has announced the suspension of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former SGF Babachir Lawal, and several others over alleged anti-party activities.

The announcement was made by Adamawa State ADC Chairman, Muh’d Raji Sulaiman Zumo, who stated that no member is above the party’s constitution regardless of status or influence.

“Let it be clearly stated no individual, regardless of his status or influence is above the law or the constitution of African Democratic Congress (ADC), as long as he is a card carrying member of the party,” Zumo said while addressing newsmen.

He emphasized that discipline and adherence to party rules remain core values of the ADC.

“Gentlemen of the press, ADC is built on discipline, justice and supremacy of law,” he added.

According to him, the suspension followed consultations within the party’s executive leadership in Adamawa State. He listed those affected as including Atiku Abubakar, Engr. David Babalawal, and Barr. Sadiq Ibrahim Darsin.

“They are suspended for their role in creating disunity,” Zumo stated.
