Internal crisis has rocked the leadership of the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Jigawa State ahead of Saturday’s elections, resulting in suspension, counter-suspension and expulsion of key officials of the party, including the party’s governorship candidate, Muhammad Sani Gumel, over allegations of anti-party activities.
• NNPP accuses PDP of plot to scuttle Saturday’s election in TarabaThe crisis is caused by alleged factional endorsements of two major political parties in the state.
Kabiru Hussaini, who described himself as the acting state chairman at a press briefing, in Dutse, explained that Gumel was expelled because of anti-party activities, including unilateral endorsement of All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Umar Namadi, which, he said, amounted to selling the party to APC.
The Guardian gathered that the allegation is coming barely two days after APC raised the alarm of alleged plan by PDP to connive with the Independent National Electoral Commission to scuttle the exercise in the state.
