NDC Expels Borno Candidate for Supporting Atiku Abubakar

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Borno State has dismissed Mohammed Bunu, a candidate for the state House of Assembly, for allegedly engaging in campaign activities for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the ADC. The party's decision, communicated in a letter dated October 25, 2026, was signed by state deputy chairman Umar Fema.

The NDC accused Bunu of violating its constitution and internal regulations after an investigation revealed campaign materials featuring the ADC logo and Atiku's name alongside Bunu's. The Hausari Ward Executive had invited Bunu to respond to these allegations on October 23, 2026, but he did not attend.

Following his absence, the ward secretary, Rabiu Umar, recommended disciplinary action, which was escalated to the Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (MMC). Bunu was invited again on October 24 to address the allegations but failed to appear once more.

The MMC chairman, Adamu Ibrahim, endorsed the recommendation for Bunu's dismissal based on the committee's findings.
