A stalwart of the African Democratic Congress ADC, Hon.Hyellagiziya Naiwa has described the protest staged by some members of the party over alleged moves by some bigwigs to replace the gubernatorial candidate of the party,Amb assador Omar Suleiman aka Omarana in Adamawa state as a right step taken at the right time.
Hon.Naiwa who is a former treasurer and a candidate for the Michika/Madagali federal constuency in the 2027 election said that, what happened in Yola on her opinion was nothing more than the beauty of democracy even though it was a rumor not even factual claim.
Naiwa stressed that during the party conducted in the state on the 26th May 2026, the party members voted for their guber-candidate (Omarana) with 143,000 votes to emerged the 2027 governorship flag bearer through direct primary in Yola but Abuja, therefore the wish of the people must be given its rightful place.
She applauded the quick response to such rumors which send their message to the right quarters for necessary action to be taken noting that voices of the demonstrators must be accorded the necessary action considering the task ahead of the party in 2027 general elections.
She therefore called on the national leadership and stakeholders to come in with a view to addressing the avoidable utterances by some elements trying to cause confusion among supporters of the party.
However, the chairman of the party in the state, Barrister Ibrahim Sadiq Dasin has not responded as calls put to his verified mobile phone number were not answered as at the time filing this report.
Some of the party stalwarts who spoke on the matter are of the opinion that the national headquarters of party needs to make an official statement so as to put to rest this needless debate for everyone to concentrate on some thing more vital which can add value to the chances of the party in the 2027 contest.
