Fresh cracks have emerged within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a faction of the party in Adamawa State has announced the suspension of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
The decision was disclosed on Monday by the factional chairman in the state, Raji Sulaiman Zumo, who also confirmed that former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has been suspended alongside him.
The move adds another layer to the ongoing leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress, with multiple factions now claiming authority within the party.
At the centre of the dispute is a rival group led by Nafiu Bala Gombe, which is contesting control of the party’s national structure.
The crisis has also drawn the attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission, which reportedly withdrew recognition from a faction of the party leadership linked to former Senate President David Mark.
With tensions rising, the latest suspension signals deepening divisions within the party, raising questions about its internal stability ahead of future political activities.
