The Kaduna State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has pledged to prevent a self-proclaimed Zonal Vice Chairman, Ja’afaru Sani, from disrupting the party’s internal processes and attempting to impose himself as the gubernatorial candidate.
At a press conference, State Chairman Hon. Ahmad Tijjani Mustapha accused Sani of unlawful interference and destabilizing tactics, warning that the party would neither recognize nor validate his actions.
Mustapha stressed that the party’s State Executive Committee (SEC) remains the legitimate authority, with a tenure valid until May 12, 2026, as certified by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He urged members and supporters to stay committed and ignore Sani’s efforts to create confusion, emphasizing that the party values internal democracy, institutional integrity, and accountability.
The party is preparing for Ward, Local Government, and State Congresses, ensuring a transparent and compliant process.
Mustapha appealed to all stakeholders to support the party’s efforts to uphold stability and establish itself as a credible platform for leadership in 2027.
With over 75% of wards operational, the ADC’s strong presence in Kaduna State demonstrates its dedication to grassroots engagement and membership growth.
The party’s determination to block Sani’s ambitions is seen as a vital test of its ability to maintain internal unity and uphold democratic principles.
