The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is grappling with a growing leadership crisis in Adamawa State. Dr Markus Peter Danbaki has emerged as the third factional chairman, further complicating the already volatile situation. Prior to Danbaki, Sadiq Dasin and Alhaji Sai’du Naira had been competing for the role. This turmoil is particularly concerning as two individuals, Hamman Tukur Modibbo and Omar Suleiman, are already involved in a dispute over the ADC governorship ticket for the 2027 election.
Modibbo, who came second in the primary election, is on the INEC portal as the party's candidate, while Suleiman, the winner, is challenging Modibbo's claim and seeking legal redress. At a ceremony held late Sunday, Danbaki was officially sworn in as chairman by Ibrahim Ahmad, a factional legal advisor, in the presence of supporters.
This development is anticipated to exacerbate the leadership turmoil within the ADC in Adamawa State.
