Ndume Accuses ADC of Disrupting APC Rally in Borno

Senator Ali Ndume, representing Borno South Senatorial District, and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Campaign Council in Borno State have engaged in a dispute over an alleged disruption of an All Progressives Congress (APC) political rally in Gwoza Local Government Area. Ndume accused the ADC of hiring thugs from outside Gwoza to disrupt the APC rally on Friday, November 6, 2026.

He questioned the ADC's presence in Gwoza, stating there were no offices or campaign materials visible in the area. Ndume emphasized the need for political unity and urged residents to reject violence.

In response, ADC's Director of Communications, Bukar-Bukar Petrol, denied the allegations, asserting that the ADC dissociates itself from any acts of violence and highlighted their peaceful engagements in Gwoza, including visits to the Emir’s Palace and IDP settlements. The ADC Campaign Council condemned any actions undermining peace in Gwoza or Borno State.
