The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has voided the purported suspension of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, by a faction of the party in Adamawa State.
Speaking at a Monday press conference, factional ADC Chairman in the state, Raji Zumo said Atiku and Lawal were suspended alongside the party’s Transition Committee Chairman, Sadiq Ibrahim.
Zumo said they were suspended for fostering disunity in the party and disregarding a subsisting court order.

In a reaction on Thursday, National Publicity Secretary of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi described those behind the purported suspension as “jesters”.
He emphasised that they were not empowered to suspend the party chieftains.
Speaking on the suspension, Abdullahi said, “No, no, no. There’s nothing to it. It doesn’t make sense.
“Those saying it (they suspended Atiku and Babachir Lawal), don’t have the power to do that. No, they don’t have the power to do that. They are just jesters.”
