Nigeria’s Action Democratic Party (ADP) suspends its National Chairman, Yabagi Yusuf Sani, citing allegations including forgery, misuse of party funds and alleged anti-party activities. The suspension follows, among other things, his backing of Atiku Abubakar of the ADC on television, according to the reports.
Vanguard adds that the ADP also alleges unauthorised interference with the INEC candidate nomination portal and orders an immediate audit of party accounts. Across the coverage, outlets focus on the party’s internal disciplinary action and the specific allegations used to justify the suspension, with the emphasis ranging from the opposition-support context to the technical claim involving the INEC nomination process and financial auditing.
