The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended its National Vice Chairman (South-South), Dr. Usani Uguru Usani, citing alleged breaches of the party’s constitution and actions considered harmful to its unity and development.
The action was taken during a meeting of the State Working Committee (SWC) of the ADC, Cross River State Chapter, held on October 15, 2025.
In a statement released on Monday in Abuja by the State Publicity Secretary, Hon. James Otudor, the party stated that Dr. Usani’s recent behavior violated key sections of the ADC constitution.
The statement noted that the suspension followed deliberations on petitions and reports accusing Usani of engaging in anti-party activities, insubordination, and conduct capable of damaging the party’s image and internal cohesion.
The ADC explained that the suspension would remain in place pending the conclusion of investigations by relevant party bodies.
The statement also faulted the appointment of Ms. Jackie Wayas as Deputy National Publicity Secretary, describing the process as one that lacked proper consultation with the Cross River State leadership.
It added that Ms. Wayas had not interacted with the state chapter since assuming her position and called on the national leadership to review her appointment.
The party further expressed concern over some individuals from the Coalition Movement who had indicated interest in joining the ADC but had yet to complete their membership registration.
It warned that the party would not tolerate dual membership or allow its platform to be used by individuals pursuing multiple political interests.
Accordingly, the ADC instructed all coalition leaders and intending members to finalize their registration at the ward level within seven days, ending on October 25, 2025, or risk exclusion from party activities.
Restating its commitment to the national leadership, the ADC Cross River Chapter assured members of its resolve to uphold transparent leadership and advance a people-focused political agenda across the state and the South-South region.
