JUST IN: ADC suspends Dumebi Kachikwu, its presidential candidate
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended Dumebi Kachikwu, its presidential candidate.
The development came hours after Kachikwu supported the call of the party’s chairmen who called on Ralph Nwosu, its national chairman, to resign after 17 years in office.
In a statement on Saturday, Bamidele Ajadi, ADC’s deputy national chairman, said the decision was taken at the party’s national executive committee (NEC) meeting that was held on Friday.
Ajadi said since Kachikwu emerged standard bearer of the party, he has failed to come up with a strategy for the party’s presidential campaign activities due to commence soon.
“The committee of the whole house, in a very clear and unequivocal term condemned the said video in its entirety and described it as a piece of badly crafted blackmail and mudslinging, and thereby unanimously recommended his immediate suspension from the party from today, Friday 2nd September, 2022.
“This resolution would be forwarded to the NEC for further actions.
