ADC Crisis Deepens as Binani's Faction Resigns in Adamawa

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State is experiencing a deepening crisis as a faction led by Senator Aishatu Dahiru Binani has announced a mass resignation from the party. The group cites the total collapse of internal democracy and claims that the party leadership at both state and national levels is undermining democratic principles.

They accuse the leadership of imposing illegitimate structures that destroy internal democracy and undermine the rule of law, rendering the party's structure in Adamawa illegitimate. The faction's communique, issued after a stakeholders' meeting, highlights grievances over the manipulation of the recent party congress, which they claim was marred by flaws and intimidation.

The group plans to align with a new political platform, signaling a significant shift in the political landscape of Adamawa, with Binani expected to play a central role in the upcoming 2027 governorship race. This internal dispute is anticipated to weaken the party's cohesion ahead of future elections.
