The Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Nasarawo Ward, Gombe State, Alhasan Ibrahim, has dismissed as false and misleading reports alleging that his office recently suspended or expelled some members of the party.
The ward chairman further called on ADC loyalists in Gombe and beyond to remain united and focused on building a stronger party ahead of future political engagements.
In a statement made available to journalists on Thursday, Ibrahim clarified that neither his office nor the ward executive has issued any suspension or expulsion letters to members of ADC.
He maintained that the allegations were a calculated attempt to destabilise the party and discredit its acting National Chairman, Hon. Nafiu Bala.
He said that he has not been accused of any offence, nor have there been any allegations of anti-party activities that would warrant suspension or expulsion from the party.
“The claims made by Auwal A. Barde, a former member who was expelled from the party a few years ago, are baseless and a gross misrepresentation of facts,” he said in his statement on Thursday.
“My office is committed to upholding the principles of fairness, transparency, and due process.”
Ibrahim said the expulsion claims were fabricated to tarnish his image and destabilise the party, while calling on the general public to disregard the claims.
