ADC dissolves Kano executives, constitutes caretaker committee

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dissolved its executive committee in Kano State and appointed a caretaker committee to manage the party's affairs.

“

This important action is not out of preference but out of constitutional duty. Every action taken has been guided by the constitution of our party, the Electoral Act and our collective responsibility to protect the future of the ADC in Kano State.

Najaatu Mohammed, the Deputy National Chairman (North-West) of the ADC, announced the decision on Monday, stating it was made in accordance with the party's constitution and the Electoral Act. She emphasized that the action was a constitutional duty aimed at protecting the party's future in Kano and restoring stability and continuity.

"Our constitution exists precisely for moments such as this. It provides a lawful path to restore stability, preserve continuity and ensure that the affairs of the party continue uninterrupted," Mohammed explained. She added that responsible leadership cannot allow uncertainty to consume the institution when a leadership vacuum arises.

The newly formed caretaker committee will be headed by Alhaji Umar Bala as chairman, with Isma’il Musa serving as secretary. Mohammed stressed that this move should not be interpreted as a judgment on the commitment or contributions of the party's members in Kano State.

When circumstances create a leadership vacuum within any political organisation, responsible leadership cannot fold its arms and watch uncertainty consume the institution. A political party is built on order, discipline and continuity.

"The constitution of a caretaker committee must never be interpreted as a judgment on the commitment, loyalty or contributions of the thousands of faithful members of our party across Kano State," she stated. She called on party stakeholders to support the transitional arrangement, expressing confidence that the ADC's future in Kano will be strengthened.
