A reported internal disagreement has emerged within the Kebbi State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over campaign strategy and the fate of its governorship candidate, Abubakar Malami, SAN.Sources within the party alleged the disagreement involves the governorship campaign council, members of the State Executive Council, and some candidates for National and State Assembly seats ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to some insiders, the tension was triggered after the maiden press conference of the campaign council led by its Director-General, Hon. Sani Tadurga.
Tadurga, who flagged off campaigns at Asbir Hotel, Birnin Kebbi, questioned the utilisation of federal allocations by the present state administration, a comment which drew a response from the Special Adviser to the Governor on Communication and Strategy, Abdullahi Zuru, who described the ADC event as a distraction from ongoing development projects which are real and not imaginary.
Party insiders disclosed that some members considered the attack on the administration ill-timed, given what they described as visible unprecedented development achieved by Comrade Governor Nasir Idris and the uncertainty around the party’s governorship candidate.
Malami, former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (2015-2023), emerged as ADC governorship candidate in Kebbi in 2025.

Insiders further alleged that a section of the state executive suspects a hidden agenda and argues the campaign council should prioritize building public sympathy for the candidate.

The internal wrangling was said als reported to have been further fuelled by an alleged expulsion from the party of a National Assembly candidate whose conduct and inciting utterances of his loyalist are believed to possess the potentiality of creatig a negative image in the eyes of the public,thereby causing unimaginable damages to the party at all levels.
