ADC Suspends National Vice Chairman South-South

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended its National Vice Chairman (South-South), Dr. Usani Uguru Usani, over alleged anti-party activities and insubordination to the party’s leadership.
The decision followed a State Working Committee (SWC) meeting of the ADC Cross River State Chapter, held on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
According to a statement dated October 17 and released to journalists on Monday in Abuja, the party accused Usani of engaging in actions inconsistent with the ADC Constitution and harmful to party unity.
The statement was signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Hon. James Otudor.
Otudor said the decision came after a thorough review of petitions and reports alleging anti-party conduct, defiance, and activities capable of damaging the ADC’s reputation and electoral progress.
“The African Democratic Congress (ADC), Cross River State Chapter, wishes to inform the general public, party faithful, and stakeholders that following the resolutions reached at its State Working Committee meeting on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, Dr. Usani Uguru Usani, National Vice Chairman (South-South), has been suspended with immediate effect,” the statement read.
The committee explained that the suspension would remain in effect pending the conclusion of further investigations and disciplinary proceedings by relevant national organs.
It also criticized the recent appointment of Ms. Jackie Wayas as the Deputy National Publicity Secretary, claiming that her selection lacked due consultation with the Cross River leadership.
“Her appointment was not made in the best interest of the party in Cross River State,” the statement said.
“No member of the state leadership was consulted prior to her appointment.”
The SWC added that Ms. Wayas’s loyalty appeared questionable and urged the national leadership to reconsider the appointment.
The statement called for her replacement with a competent and credible individual committed to the ADC’s ideals.
Additionally, the committee expressed frustration over the conduct of some individuals from the Coalition Movement who had announced their intention to join the ADC but failed to formalize their membership.
It warned that the party would not tolerate dual membership or opportunistic participation from individuals pursuing multiple partisan interests.
“All coalition leaders and intending members are directed to complete their ward-level registration within seven days, ending Saturday, October 25, 2025,” the statement said.
“Failure to comply will result in exclusion from leadership and decision-making roles within the ADC.”
Reaffirming its loyalty to the national leadership, the ADC Cross River State Chapter urged members to remain calm and disciplined while internal mechanisms for justice and accountability take effect.
“We assure our members that the party remains united, disciplined, and focused on delivering credible, people-centred political leadership in the South-South region,” the statement added.
The suspension marks another internal shake-up within the ADC, which has seen a recent surge in attention following its coalition talks with opposition figures and youth-based political movements ahead of the 2027 general elections.
DELTA – The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is set to unveil its new Coalition Vehicle in Delta State this weekend.
Delta State, located in the southern region of Nigeria, is a fascinating and culturally rich area known for its diverse ethnic composition, breathtaking natural landscapes, and vibrant economic activities.
It is bordered by Edo State to the north, Anambra State to the east, and the Bight of Benin to the west, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south.
This state is renowned for its oil and gas reserves, contributing significantly to Nigeria’s overall revenue.
The capital city, Asaba, serves as the political and administrative hub, while Warri stands out as the commercial nerve center of the state.
Delta State is home to various ethnic groups, including the Urhobo, Isoko, Ijaw, Itsekiri, and Anioma people, each bringing their unique cultural heritage, traditions, and festivals to the vibrant tapestry of the region.
Visitors to Delta State can experience a blend of urban and rural life, enjoy traditional music, art, and delicious cuisine, while also engaging in exciting outdoor activities like exploring the inner riverine areas filled with stunning wildlife and lush greenery.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) notes that the event is expected to draw political leaders, stakeholders, and supporters from across Nigeria.
The launch aims to unite reform-minded leaders, youth movements, and grassroots organizations under one platform for inclusive governance and participatory democracy.
Organizers confirmed that several top national figures, including former governors, party chieftains, and youth leaders, will be present at the official unveiling.
The event is being described as a pivotal moment for ADC, signaling the party’s intention to consolidate support ahead of future elections.
The coalition is designed to serve as a people-driven force, providing a political vehicle for collaboration among reformist groups and leaders nationwide.
ADC’s call to action, themed “A–D–C Arise”, has gained traction on social media, trending across multiple platforms in anticipation of the weekend event.
Supporters are encouraged to participate both physically in Delta State and digitally, using hashtags #CoalitionVehicle and #ADCArise to show solidarity.
Political analysts say the unveiling could strengthen the party’s visibility and attract alliances with smaller parties and civil society organizations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
ADC leadership has emphasized that the coalition is not limited to party loyalists but is open to all reform-oriented Nigerians committed to democratic principles.
The party has also highlighted that the event will feature interactive sessions, discussions on governance reforms, and strategies to mobilize youth engagement in politics.
Observers expect that the Delta launch will serve as a blueprint for similar coalition-building exercises in other states, amplifying ADC’s national footprint.
The ADC leadership reiterated that the Coalition Vehicle is a platform for collaboration, dialogue, and actionable political engagement, aiming to address pressing issues affecting Nigerians at the grassroots level.
(DDM) – The Obidient Movement has announced that its official Situation Room for the Anambra 2025 Gubernatorial Election is live today, Saturday, November 8, 2025, at 8 a.m.
The Obedient Movement, often seen as a significant social and cultural wave, represents a burgeoning collective of individuals unified by a shared vision of civic responsibility and active participation in societal development.
This movement, characterized by its emphasis on adherence to ethical principles and accountability, encourages its members to engage in community activities and political processes with the goal of fostering positive change.
Through their unwavering commitment to these ideals, participants aim to build a more harmonious and equitable society that values integrity, transparency, and collaborative progress.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) notes that the broadcast is streaming across all major social media platforms, with the movement providing real-time updates, field reports, and verified election analyses from its statewide monitoring network.
According to a statement signed by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, spokesperson of the Obidient Movement Worldwide, the Situation Room was set up to promote transparency, accountability, and credible reporting throughout today’s election process.
The Obidient Situation Room will feature live updates from polling units, on-ground observer reports, and analyses of voter turnout, vote counting, and conduct of officials.
It also aims to counter fake news, promote peaceful participation, and encourage citizens to protect their votes.
Dr. Tanko urged all supporters and members of the Obidient family to join the live broadcast and share updates widely across social media.
He emphasized that the Obidient Movement remains committed to safeguarding democracy through citizen participation, vigilance, and integrity.
“The election is in the hands of Anambarians,” Dr. Tanko said. “It is your choice who governs you. A New Nigeria is Possible.”
The Obidient Movement, which rose to prominence during the 2023 general elections, has maintained its influence through civic engagement, digital mobilization, and grassroots organization across Nigeria.
Analysts believe today’s live Situation Room represents a bold step in leveraging technology to promote electoral transparency and citizen oversight during the governorship election.
Thousands of Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora are expected to tune in as the Obidient Movement delivers verified, on-the-ground updates from polling centers across Anambra State.
DDM will provide continuous live reports and verified developments from the Obidient Situation Room as today’s election unfolds across Anambra.
At this point, it is believed that most voters in Anambra State have made up their minds as the election is set to take place across the 326 wards in the state.
As has been consistently emphasized, our choice at the polls will shape the future of Anambra State over the next four years.
A mistake in our voting could regress our state even further than the challenges we currently face under the administration of Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo.

Above all, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has not only shown a strong commitment to the holistic development of our state but has also laid out a clear blueprint for their administration, titled “SHEEMS.”
Ndi Anambra, Mr. John Chuma Nwosu and Dr. Geoffrey Ndubisi Nwobu are not strangers to us when it comes to administration and public service.
Both have significantly elevated the roles they have previously held and have positively impacted the lives of many (the evidence is clear).
Let’s give ADC a chance tomorrow!
As for me and my family, we will be voting for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).John Nwosu
