Kebbi ADC Suspends ‘Self-Imposed’ State Chairman, Sadeeq Sami

In a decisive move aimed at restoring internal order and reaffirming party leadership, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kebbi State has officially suspended Sadeeq Sami, a prominent party figure accused of falsely presenting himself as the state chairman.

The announcement was made public through a statement issued by the party’s State Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Atiku, and distributed to journalists in Birnin Kebbi.

According to the statement, the suspension of Sadeeq Sami was prompted by his unauthorized assumption of the role of state chairman, a position that is currently held by Sufiyanu Bala.

The ADC’s National Working Committee had previously resolved that all state chairmen should retain their positions until the end of their tenure, which is scheduled to conclude in May 2026. This directive was cited as the basis for the disciplinary action taken against Sami.

The party emphasized that Sadeeq Sami is not to participate in any ADC activities and warned members and the public to disregard any claims or communications from him that contradict the official stance of the party.

Furthermore, the ADC called upon security agencies to intervene and prevent Sami from engaging in any further activities under the guise of party leadership.

In addition to addressing the issue of Sadeeq Sami, the statement also cautioned against misinformation being spread by another individual, Dr. Sule-Iko, whose unauthorized declarations were deemed inconsistent with the party’s official position.

The ADC urged its members, supporters, and the general public to remain aligned with the constitutionally recognized leadership and to ignore any unofficial narratives that could disrupt party unity.

This development marks a significant moment in the internal politics of the ADC in Kebbi State, as the party seeks to reinforce its organizational structure and maintain discipline among its ranks.
