2023: Tension as ADC expels presidential candidate, seven others
Less than five months to the conduct of the 2023 general election, the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) expelled its presidential candidate, Dumebi Kachikwu, over alleged anti-party activities.
Legit.ng gathered that his expulsion came exactly two weeks after a faction loyal to the ADC long-serving national chairman, Ralph Nwosu, announced his suspension.
No fewer than 27 state chairmen and Kachikwu had earlier called for the resignation of Nwosu, given his ‘overstay’ in the top office.
ADC chairman overstaying in office
The chairman had spent 17 years on the seat even though the party’s constitution only allows anyone to lead the party for a maximum of eight years.
The party, however, said Kachikwu’s attitude is improper for someone who wants to be the president of Nigeria, having attacked the Nwosu-led National Working Committee (NWC).
The party through its deputy chairman (politics), Bamidele Ajadi, said recently:
“The NWC viewed with great concern the baseless and defamatory video made, published and circulated by Mr Dumebi Kachikwu, which was intended to disparage and impugn the integrity and image of a peaceful and transformation-oriented African Democratic Congress and its national officers."
