ADC in Adamawa Faces Crisis as Atiku Allegedly Sidelines Babachir Lawal

The Adamawa chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is on the brink of a leadership crisis. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar allegedly bypassed National Vice Chairman (North East) Babachir Lawal to submit a rival congress committee list directly to the party’s national leadership under Senator David Mark. Sources say the move contradicts a memo from the National Secretary directing all national vice chairmen to compile their zone’s state congress committees. Atiku’s team reportedly failed to consult Babachir Lawal, sparking outrage among the former SGF’s loyalists. They warn that this breach of protocol could trigger defections and weaken the ADC in Adamawa and across Nigeria. Stakeholders are calling for urgent dialogue to prevent further fragmentation. The state congresses in April will address party restructuring and leadership confirmations. All eyes are now on how the ADC will navigate this internal showdown.
