The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Campaign Council in Borno State has formally rejected allegations by Senator Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South) claiming the party hired political thugs to disrupt an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Gwoza Local Government Area.
Speaking in an interview with Channels Television in Maiduguri, Bukar Bukar-Petrol, Director of Communications for the ADC Campaign Council, described the claims as unfounded. He emphasized that recent party activities—including visits to the Emir’s Palace, Pulka, and local Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) settlements—were conducted peacefully and without conflict.
Bukar-Petrol challenged Senator Ndume to provide concrete proof, such as an official police report, rather than making unverified political statements. He added that any shift in public support toward the ADC stems from voters seeking alternative leadership due to concerns over current representation, affirming that the ADC remains dedicated to peaceful, lawful democratic processes.
