ADC Rejects Jennifer Adibie as Ebonyi State Chairman, Alleges APC Collusion

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has formally rejected the purported appointment of Jennifer Adibie N. as the State Chairman of its Ebonyi State chapter, describing the move as an attempt to compromise the party’s integrity and independence.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, the Director General of the ADC National Media Frontiers, Imal Haruna Gal, said the decision followed credible intelligence indicating that Adibie is allegedly working in alliance with the Ebonyi State Governor and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

“After a thorough review of available information and credible intelligence gathered from our structures on the ground, I wish to categorically reject this appointment,” Haruna Gal stated. “Let it be made abundantly clear: the ADC will not serve as a platform for political mercenaries or individuals compromised by affiliations with rival parties.”

The party leadership described the development as a direct threat to the credibility of the ADC, stressing that its foundation is built on transparency, accountability, and people-first governance.

“It is unacceptable to have any individual in a leadership position who is allegedly serving the interests of an opposing party, especially one whose policies and leadership style starkly contrast with the values we uphold,” the statement continued.

The ADC announced that the appointment is considered null and void, and promised to initiate a constitutionally guided process to install a committed and loyal party member to lead the Ebonyi chapter.

The party also urged its members and supporters in Ebonyi State and across Nigeria to remain vigilant in the face of what it described as attempts by external political forces to infiltrate its ranks.

“The ADC remains a beacon of hope for millions of Nigerians seeking genuine change, and we will not allow our vision to be hijacked by external political interests,” Haruna Gal affirmed.

The statement concluded by reiterating that the ADC is not a “political trading post,” but a movement rooted in principle, people, and purpose.
