Naja’atu Mohammed Moves Against Pro-Tinubu Aspirant In Kano, Rules Out ADC Ticket

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Deputy National Chairman (North West), Naja’atu Mohammed, has stated that the party would not hand over its ticket to one of its governorship aspirants in Kano State, Ibrahim Khalil, due to his alleged support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Naija News reports that Mohammed disclosed this at a press conference in Kano.

She asserted that the party would not hand its ticket to a candidate whose allegiance to its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, was doubtful.

She said Khalil’s support for President Tinubu was well known, citing his repeated public declarations of loyalty.

“No fair‑minded Northerner would want to politically associate with any aspirant perceived to be loyal to Tinubu, given the hardship, pain and anguish the region has suffered under this administration,” she said.

Naja’atu lamented that hunger and insecurity had spread across the North in the last four years, with women left to watch the killing of their husbands.

She dismissed claims that she was solely responsible for the party’s refusal to adopt Khalil, clarifying that she was only a member of the seven‑member consensus committee chaired by Ben Obi.

The Deputy National Chairman also inaugurated a new Kano State ADC Caretaker Committee to steer the party’s affairs. The committee is led by Umar Bala as Caretaker Chairman, Ismail Musa Ibrahim as Secretary, Lawal Adamu Giginyu as Publicity Secretary, and Barrister Mohammed Lawal Adamu as Legal Adviser.

When Daily Trust contacted Khalil, he refused  to comment, saying, “I will not reply to her.”
