A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Nasarawa State, Muhammad Bose, has criticised the suspension of the party’s state chairman, Godwin Alaku Williams, describing the action as unjust, ill-timed, and damaging to the party’s unity.
Bose, who is a leading ADC figure from Doma South, faulted the party leadership for what he called a “wrong decision,” questioning the rationale behind suspending the chairman just as preparations for the party congress were underway.
Bose dismissed allegations of anti-party conduct, noting that during the last general election, party members exercised individual political choices without being accused of disloyalty.
“In the last election, many of us supported different candidates. I personally voted for Buhari Usman for the State Assembly under ADC and Atala Yusuf for the House of Representatives on the same platform.
“That did not make anyone anti-party. Perhaps those who suspended the chairman did not even vote for ADC candidates themselves,” Bose stated.
The ADC chieftain warned that injustice within the party would only breed deeper division and weaken its future prospects.
“Suspending him is injustice, and injustice never lasts. It will not take the party anywhere,” he said, stressing that although he remains a committed ADC member, he could not support what he described as an unfair process.
Bose also drew parallels with past leadership crises in other parties, warning that repeated suspensions and internal purges often leave lasting damage.
He added that his stance was not driven by personal loyalty, as he claimed to have no personal relationship with the suspended chairman.
According to the report, Godwin Alaku Williams was recently suspended for 14 days by the party’s leadership over alleged involvement in anti-party activities, a decision that has continued to generate controversy within the ADC in Nasarawa State.
