ADC Crisis Deepens in Adamawa As Group Protests Alleged Plot to Substitute Guber Candidate

The crisis in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over its Adamawa governorship candidacy has deepened following a peaceful protest staged by a political movement known as ‘Adamawa Forward Political Organization’ at the party’s state secretariat in Yola on Monday.

The demonstration was triggered by the emergence of Ambassador Omar Suleiman Omarana as the ADC standard-bearer, a development that has reportedly been greeted with misgivings within the party. Rumors have circulated that certain interests are working to substitute him ahead of the 2027 elections.

Secretary of the group, Hon. Joshua Buba, addressed the demonstrators at the ADC secretariat and said the organization was uncomfortable with unconfirmed claims that Ambassador Omarana, who was democratically elected as the party’s candidate, could be replaced by other interests.
