The African Democratic Congress has dismissed reports that the Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, Ireti Kingibe, has been suspended from the party, saying the claim is false.
The party said the reports circulating in some quarters are misleading and urged the public and the media to ignore them, stressing that issues involving its members are handled through established constitutional procedures, not through public pronouncements.
The clarification was made by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Thursday.
“The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is unaware of any suspension of Senator Ireti Kingibe, the distinguished Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory.
“As a law-abiding political party, the ADC has clear constitutional channels and procedures for addressing any allegations involving its members. Such matters are handled through established internal mechanisms, not through press statements,” Abdullahi said.
The ADC also asked the public and news organisations not to rely on what it described as inaccurate reports about the FCT senator.
“We therefore urge the public and the media to disregard the reports suggesting that Senator Ireti Kingibe has been suspended by the party, as they are false and misleading,” the party spokesman added.
Meanwhile, the clarification follows reports circulating in some quarters claiming that disciplinary action had been taken against the senator, a claim the African Democratic Congress insists did not come from its recognised internal structures.
