The internal crisis within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has taken a new turn, as a faction of the party in Adamawa State announced the suspension of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
The decision, made public on Monday, was disclosed by the factional chairman, Raji Sulaiman Zumo, who also confirmed the suspension of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.
The development marks a further escalation of the leadership crisis rocking the party, with multiple factions laying claim to authority at both state and national levels.
Another bloc, led by Nafiu Bala Gombe, is also contesting the position of national chairman, underscoring the deepening divisions within the party.
The ongoing dispute has reportedly impacted the party’s standing with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which recently withdrew recognition from the leadership headed by former Senate President David Mark.
Observers say the latest suspensions could further complicate efforts to stabilise the party ahead of the 2027 general elections, as internal wrangling continues to threaten its cohesion and political relevance.
