ADC Alleges Coalition Partners Sponsored Court Case Against El-Rufai

The Kaduna State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has alleged that some coalition partners have been sponsored to institute a court case against former Kaduna governor, Nasir El-Rufai and others.

The ADC National Vice Chairman (North-West), Jafar Sani, accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to sabotage the ongoing reorganisation of the party.

He made the claim after a leadership and stakeholders’ meeting of the party.

Sani stated that the ruling party was desperately trying to infiltrate and weaken opposition unity in the state.

He lamented that the APC was sponsoring elements within the opposition to create internal crises and frustrate the ongoing reorganisation of the party.

Addressing journalists, Sani said, “Some coalition partners have been sponsored to institute a court case against certain leaders, including Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and others. The same mercenary group has illegally claimed to have suspended the ADC State Chairman, Elder Patrick Didam Ambut, as part of a broader plan to destabilise the party.”

Sani reaffirmed the expulsion of erring members accused of insubordination and anti-party activities, endorsing the decision of the State Working Committee under Ambut’s leadership.

“After reviewing all recent developments, we endorse the expulsion of the Deputy Chairman, Alh. Ahmed Tijjani Mustapha, and eight others,” he said.

He further disclosed that Hon. Adamu Ahmed Dattijo, Alh. Suleiman Abdullahi and Sen. Musa Bello had been blacklisted for initiating a court case against Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, Jaafaru Sani, and Bashir Saidu without exhausting internal dispute resolution mechanisms.
