ADC Stakeholders Accuse Atiku of Candidate Replacement
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa state is facing internal conflict regarding its 2027 governorship candidate, Amb. Omar Sulaiman.
A group of party stakeholders, led by spokesman Bukar Dahi, issued a statement in Yola alleging that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is influencing the National Working Committee, headed by Senator David Mark, to replace Sulaiman. They claim this move is based on ethnic and religious biases and undermines democratic principles within the party.
The stakeholders expressed concern that such actions could harm the party's chances in the upcoming elections. They also criticized Mark for weak leadership and abandoning the party's principles of fairness and equity.
The ADC is reportedly dealing with similar disputes in other states, including Sokoto, Imo, Kano, and Borno. The group reaffirmed their support for Sulaiman, describing him as a competent politician, and warned that any attempt to replace him would be detrimental to the party's prospects in Adamawa.
