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 campaigning for Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). A letter dated October 25, 2026, signed by NDC state deputy chairman Umar Fema, stated that Bunu's actions were inconsistent with the party's constitution and principles.
The allegations involved campaign materials featuring the ADC logo and Bunu's name alongside Atiku Abubakar's. The NDC initiated a disciplinary process at the Hausari ward level, where Bunu was invited to respond to the allegations on October 23, 2026, but he did not attend.
A second invitation was sent for October 24, which he also ignored. Following these events, the Maiduguri Metropolitan Council party chairman, Adamu Ibrahim, endorsed the recommendation for Bunu's dismissal based on the committee's findings.
