ADC Faction Suspends Atiku Abubakar and Babachir Lawal

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) faction in Adamawa State announced the suspension of prominent party members, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal. This decision was made public on Monday by the faction's chairman, Raji Sulaiman Zumo, following consultations among the party's leadership in the state.

The suspension is attributed to the individuals' alleged roles in creating divisions within the party. Zumo indicated that the action is part of efforts to restore order and discipline within the ADC.

Other individuals affected by this decision include Barrister Sadiq Ibrahim, who serves as the chairman of the transit committee. The announcement reflects ongoing tensions within the party as it seeks to unify its ranks.
