Guber Poll: ADC Expels Its Candidate In Jigawa State, Backs PDP Candidate

By Akinwale Kasali

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Jigawa State, has expelled its Governorship Candidate, Muhammed Gumel, for the March18th, 2023, Governorship Election over alleged anti-Party activities.

Kabiru Hussaini, the Acting State Chairman of the Party made this disclosure while briefing the media at the Party secretariat in Dutse, the State Capital.

Hussaini urged members of the ADC to support the Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mustapha Lamido, adding that only the PDP can salvage the state from total collapse.

“We are directing all our Party’s supporters to support the PDP gubernatorial candidate because it’s only the PDP that can salvage the state from total collapse,” he said.

It was, however, gathered that the ADC governorship candidate, Gumel, has reportedly relinquished his candidature and shifted his support to the All Progressives Congress.

Reacting to the development, Gumel said the Acting Chairman had no right to expel him from the Party.

He said the Acting Chairman was expelled from the party by the National headquarters on 22 September, 2022, and is not recognised by the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies.
