The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has denied reports claiming that Senator Ireti Kingibe has been suspended from the party, describing the claims as false and misleading.
Kingibe represents the Federal Capital Territory in the Senate.
In a statement released on Thursday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, stated that the ADC is unaware of any decision to suspend the senator and urged the public to disregard the circulating reports.
Abdullahi emphasized that the party has well-defined constitutional procedures for handling allegations involving its members.
“The African Democratic Congress is unaware of any suspension of Senator Ireti Kingibe, the distinguished Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory,” he said.
He added that as a law-abiding political party, the ADC follows established internal mechanisms when dealing with issues concerning its members rather than addressing such matters through media statements.
“As a law-abiding political party, the ADC has clear constitutional procedures for addressing any allegations involving its members. Such matters are handled through established internal mechanisms, not through press statements,” Abdullahi stated.
The party therefore called on the public and media organizations to disregard the reports of Kingibe’s alleged suspension.
“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 statement added.
