The African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Thursday denied reports claiming the suspension of Ireti Kingibe, the senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, in the National Assembly.

In a statement issued in Abuja, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the ADC was unaware of any decision suspending the senator.

According to Abdullahi, the party operates within clear constitutional provisions, noting that disciplinary matters involving members follow established procedures and are not handled through public announcements.

“As a law-abiding political party, the ADC has clear constitutional channels for addressing allegations involving its members,” Abdullahi said.

He explained that internal party mechanisms existed to manage grievances, adding that such processes were strictly guided by the party’s constitution and leadership structures.

According to him, any claim suggesting that Sen. Kingibe has been suspended did not originate from the party’s recognised leadership or its official decision-making organs.

“We therefore urge the public and the media to disregard reports suggesting that Sen. Ireti Kingibe has been suspended by the party,” Abdullahi added.

He described the circulating reports as false and misleading, warning that misinformation could create unnecessary political tension and confusion among party supporters.

The party spokesman reaffirmed the ADC’s commitment to transparency, due process, and internal democracy in handling all issues concerning its members. (NAN)
