Leadership of the Kaduna State African Democratic Congress ADC) has debunked the rumour that Senator Nenadi Usman, the interim National Chairman of the Labour Party, has joined the party.
The party, in a press statement on Wednesday, by its chairman in Kaduna, Elder Patrick D. Ambut, said the party’s attention has been drawn to certain misrepresentations surrounding the recent appointments of chairman and co-chairman made by the coalition partners in Kaduna State.
It noted that the ADC as a political party, maintains its duly elected leadership structure, which remains intact and unaffected by the appointments made by the coalition partners.

The statement read: “The coalition partners is an alliance of individuals, political parties and interest groups that have come together in a collective, patriotic effort to rescue Nigerians from the current hardship and maladministration of the rudderless APC government.
“It is a matter of public record that leaders and stakeholders of several political parties, including the Labour Party, have been part of this coalition movement from inception. In order to coordinate coalition activities more effectively in Kaduna State, it became necessary to designate leadership positions within the coalition, hence the appointment of a chairman and co-chairman.
“These appointments are entirely separate and distinct from the leadership structure of the ADC in Kaduna State. It’s mainly to provide leadership to unite all opposition political leaders in the state. The elected State Executive Committee of the ADC remains in full charge of the party’s affairs and operations within the state.
“Accordingly, the appointment of Senator Nenadi Usman, the Interim National Chairman of the Labour Party, as Chairman of the coalition efforts in Kaduna State, aligns perfectly with her party’s commitment to the coalition. It is well known that the Labour Party leadership, stakeholders and even its 2023 presidential candidate, have been active participants in this collective rescue mission aimed at liberating Nigerians from the grip of the APC. “This clarification has become necessary to dispel the false narrative being circulated in some quarters that Senator Usman has defected to the ADC. That claim is entirely false,” it stated.
