In Kwara State, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) faces internal fallout after senior party communications figures resigned. The party’s former spokesman, Abubakar Basambo, and the party’s publicity secretary, Abubakar Kabir Basambo, both left, triggering public disagreement about the reasons for their departures.
The Punch reports a clash between the Kwara ADC and the former spokesman over his resignation, with the party alleging he quit to evade disciplinary action. Other coverage focuses more on the resignation claims themselves: Daily Post Nigeria says the publicity secretary resigned while accusing some party leaders of hypocrisy, dishonesty, and double standards. The Punch also frames its other item around the publicity secretary’s stated reasons, similarly citing alleged hypocrisy and dishonesty among party leadership.
Across outlets, the shared core is that resignations occurred and that accusations of misconduct and internal inconsistency are central to the dispute. The different emphasis lies in which side’s explanation is highlighted first: allegations that disciplinary issues drove the resignations versus the resigners’ claims about leaders’ conduct.
