The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Sokoto State has issued a disclaimer to address ongoing misrepresentations concerning the party’s chairmanship in the state.
In a statement, Hon. Umar Muhammad Faruk, the ADC Chairman in Sokoto State, clarified that Alhaji Bello Isiyaku (Keegan) is not the party’s chairman.
Faruk explained that Alhaji Bello Isiyaku was suspended in early September 2022 following his decision to contest for governor under the ADC during the 2023 elections.
He stated that he was duly appointed as the legitimate ADC Chairman in Sokoto State and has held the position since then.
The statement added that Alhaji Bello Isiyaku has been cautioned to desist from using the party’s name to insult or defame individuals, warning that such actions are driven solely by personal interests and do not represent the party.
The ADC emphasized its commitment to upholding the values of dignity, respect, and service to humanity, and reiterated that its members are expected to adhere to these principles.
The party also warned that Alhaji Bello Isiyaku would face legal consequences if he fails to cease his unauthorized actions.
