ADC Leadership Crisis in Plateau State Ahead of Elections
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Plateau State is facing a significant internal crisis just five months before the 2027 general elections, with three factions claiming leadership. Hanatu Dogara, the former chairman, continues to assert his position, while Dung Daweng Pam claims to be the newly elected chairman of the party’s Executive Committee.
A third faction, led by former Minister of Youth and Sports Solomon Dalung, has Alhaji Iliya Zakari as its Caretaker Secretary. Recent press releases from these factions reveal deep divisions, particularly between the Dalung and Pam factions.
Zakari announced the formation of a five-member investigative committee to address financial allegations against Pam's faction. In response, Silas Audu Wattok, spokesperson for the elected Executive Committee, accused Dalung of attempting to replace the party’s governorship candidate, Brigadier General John Sunday Sura (retd), and of spreading misinformation about the party's leadership structure.
The ongoing disputes stem from the election of the party's governorship candidate, raising concerns about the ADC's viability in the upcoming elections.
