Supporters of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Anka and Talata Mafara councils of Zamfara State have raised concerns about what they describe as a deliberate attempt to tamper with the party’s membership database and card allocations as internal political activities draw closer.
These allegations were made public in a statement issued on Wednesday in Gusau by Nura Rabiu Cibiki, who serves as Director of Media and Strategy for the Campaign and Mobilisation Committee backing Abdulrahaman Yahaya, a contender for the House of Representatives seat representing the Anka/Talata Mafara Federal Constituency.
The committee issued a strong warning against any efforts to modify or replicate legitimate membership figures, cautioning that such actions would likely exacerbate existing frictions within the party in the constituency. The statement emphasized that ADC members across both local government areas are fully aware of the true membership numbers and are determined to defend the accuracy of the party’s records.
Adding a note of resolve, the statement asserted that while justice might not be immediate, the truth will ultimately prevail. Meanwhile, Yahaya has initiated legal proceedings at the Federal High Court in Gusau, questioning the legitimacy of the party’s primary election process in the constituency. The court has scheduled the case for mention on June 23, 2026.
