African Democratic Congress said it has not expelled its presidential candidate, Dumebi Kachikwu, and other top officials of the party contrary to reports.
Several media reports claimed that Kachikwu and other key members were shown the door for anti party activities by exiting national chairman Ralph Nwosu, but according to ADC interim National Chairman, Senator Patricia Akwashiki, this is not the correct situation in the party. “Nwosu is the former chairman whose tenure has elapsed who now seeks to pull the party down because he failed in his bid to extend his tenure after 17 years as party chairman,” she said in Abuja
“All expulsions and suspensions from Nwosu and his cabal are merely diversionary and a face saving measure as he faces investigation for fraud, forgery and impersonation by the Nigeria Police.
“The general public is therefore advised to ignore any statements emanating from Nwosu or any member of the former National Working Committee.
“Chief Ralph Nwosu has approached the courts to challenge his removal, so, he is advised to wait for the court ruling and stop making a fool of himself.
“The party reiterates that ADC is not for sale and won’t enter into any alliance, so buyer beware!”
