ADC Kaduna Expels Deputy Chairman, Others; Appoint Sen Nenadi Usman and Hon. Bashir Saidu as State Coalition Chairman and Co-Chairman:
In a Press Conference held at Golden Orange Gate Hotel, Narayi High Cost on Sunday, 26th October, 2025.
Committed by the urgency of uniting all opposition leaders in Kaduna State under the African Democratic Congress (ADC);
Aware of the desperation of the ruling APC to infiltrate and undermine the unity of opposition political leaders in state so as to impede the proper reorganization, growth and development of the ADC in the State;
Noting that as part of the initiative to infiltrate and undermine the unity of opposition political leaders, some mercenary politicians have sponsored some willing tools to institute a court case against some leaders of the coalition, including Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and Mallam Jaafaru Sani, National Vice Chairman (North-West).
Also, recognizing that the same mercenary group have illegally claimed to suspend the State Chairman of ADC, Elder Patrick Didam Ambut as part of the strategy to undermine the leadership of the ADC in State.
Being leaders of the coalition who have committed themselves to reorganizing the ADC with the objective of mobilizing the people of Kaduna State to unite and end the current hopeless APC regime of tyranny.
Having reviewed all the developments within the ADC and the coalition in the state, we hereby endorsed the decision of the ADC State Working Committee under the leadership of Elder Patrick Didam Ambut to expel the Deputy Chairman, Alh. Ahmed Tijjani Mustapha, State Publicity Secretary, Engr. Idris Musa, State Vice Chairman Zone 1, Suleiman Abdullahi, State Trsurer, Gambo Sani, State Financial Secretary, Magaji Maiwada, State Legal Adviser Danlami Dabai, State Coordinator of PWD, Sakura Muhammed and State Deputy Youth Leaders, Ibrahim Muhammed and Mansur Gaga.
In addition, coalition leaders unanimously resolved to blacklist Hon. Adamu Ahmed Dattijo, Alh. Suleiman Abdullahi and Sen. Musa Bello for initiating a court case against Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Jaafaru Sani and Bashir Saidu without allowing internal dispute process to be concluded , which ostensibly confirmed ulterior motives and underhand dealings with the APC or their agents in order to undermine the capacity of the coalition to reorganize the ADC to become a strong party capable of defeating the APC in 2027 in Kaduna State. Accordingly therefore coalition leaders in Kaduna State enjoined ADC leaders at national level and the general public to henceforth cease any relationship with them with respect to activities of the ADC and the coalition in Kaduna state.
As part of the strategic objective of ensuring the emergence of a disciplined leadership in the State, Sen. Nenadi Usman and Alh. Muhammad Bashir Saidu are hereby returned as Chairman and Co-Chairman respectively of the coalition in Kaduna State. With this decision, they will now be the rallying point of activities of the coalition and reorganizing the ADC in Kaduna State.
