Our supporters did not stone Ndume – ADC spokesman.
The allegation followed an incident at the weekend where Senator Ndume, the Special Guest of Honour […] The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Borno State has denied claims by Senator Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South) that he was pelted by thugs allegedly loyal to the party during the inaugural Youth Summit in Gwoza Local Government Area.
reacting through a statement issued on Tuesday by the Director of Communications of the ADC Campaign Council in Borno, Bukar Bukar Petrol, the party dismissed the allegations as “unsubstantiated,” unfounded, and false.
“The Lawmaker is counting his days as his constituents have rejected him to continue representing them at the upper chamber come 2027,” Petrol stated.
He said ADC has remained a strong opposition party in Borno that is poised and committed to win all elective positions from top to bottom, especially in all the nine local government areas of Southern Borno. Petrol said, already, the ADC Senatorial Candidate, Alhaji Idris Mamman Durkwa who has maintained his grip as opponent to Senator Ndume has vowed to unseat Ndume come January 16, 2027 general elections, knowing fully well the unprecedented crowd that trooped out to receive Durkwa and his campaign team recently in Gwoza where the Senator hails from The ADC Campaign Council therefore, dissociated itself and its members from any acts of violence, civil disorder, or activities threatening the peace and security of Gwoza or any other part of Borno State. He said the ADC’s recent tour of Gwoza, which included visits to the Emir’s Palace, Pulka, Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) settlements, and local communities, was conducted in an entirely peaceful and orderly manner without any incident or confrontation. The spokesman said,”If Senator Ndume maintains that our visit was associated with violence or civil disorder, we challenge him to produce verifiable evidence, including an official police report, rather than rely on political allegations,” he said.
