The African Democratic Congress. that loyalists of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar within the party had struck an alliance with the ruling All Progressives Congress. The party described the allegation as “false and misleading,” accusing one Prof Muhammad Jawa of attempting to sow discord within the opposition party in the state.

Via a communiqué issued on Tuesday by the Yobe State Chairman of the party, Umar Alhaji, the ADC showed the publication credited to Jawa did not represent the position of the party leadership. The party also questioned Jawa’s political credibility and loyalty, alleging that his past activities had continued to generate concern among members.

From the statement, Jawa’s appointment as Special Assistant to Governor Mai Mala Buni, while retaining links with the ADC, raised suspicion among stakeholders over what the party described as “divided loyalty. ” The ADC further alleged that stakeholders expressed dissatisfaction with Jawa’s performance during his tenure as chairman of the MMRR Committee, particularly over the low level of membership registration recorded across the state.

The party also accused him of maintaining close ties with the “Obedient Movement,” which contributed to his defeat during the party’s last state congress, where he contested for the position of state chairman. “The outcome of that congress reflected the collective will of party members who had lost confidence in his leadership ambitions,” the statement read. The ADC maintained that the party in Yobe remained united and committed to providing credible opposition and democratic leadership.
