ADC Condemns Adamawa Government's Legal Action Against Candidate

The Adamawa State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) condemned the state government for dragging its gubernatorial candidate, Omar Sulaiman, to court over the alleged violation of environmental laws concerning the placement of campaign posters on public structures. The state government, through its Ministry of Environment, filed the case in a Yola magistrate court, claiming that the ADC candidate violated state laws.

In a press statement made available to journalists in Yola on Wednesday, signed by the Director General of the campaign organization, Mark Wosi, the ADC expressed disappointment in the government's decision, labeling it a laughable political witch hunt aimed at distracting the party. The statement further criticized the government for prioritizing the prosecution of its gubernatorial candidate instead of addressing pressing issues such as unemployment, insecurity, and infrastructure challenges faced by citizens.

The ADC urged its members to remain calm and avoid indiscriminate placement of campaign materials on public and private properties.
