The Kaduna State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has cautioned the general public and party members to beware of some elements who have been parading themselves as the leaders of the party in the state.
Reacting to what it described as an illegal and misleading inauguration of state executives, the party explained that no inauguration was carried out by the leadership of ADC in the state as being speculated.
The Kaduna ADC equally said that a former vice chairman of the party, Tijani Ahmed who spear-headed the so called inauguration with some others has been expelled from the party following allegations of extortion and anti-party activities, among others.
In a statement issued in Kaduna on Saturday, state Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Alex Tagwai, said, “To set the record straight, their misleading and mischievous speculations that the court gave the so called Tijani Ahmed the right to act on behalf of the party as the chairman in Kaduna State is a complete lie.”
The Kaduna ADC challenged the legitimacy of Tijjani Ahmed’s leadership, saying he is not recognized by INEC and the national secretariat of the party.
“And if so, Tijjani Ahmed should present the legal document that gives him the power to assume the position of chairman of the party in the state,” Tagwai added.
