The African Democratic Congress has described the party’s constitution as supreme and will always guide its activities.
The leadership of the party stated this while reacting to the reported dismissal of the ADC presidential candidate, Dumebi Kachikwu and other members by its immediate past National Chairman, Ralph Nwosu.
In a statement by the interim ADC National Chairman, Senator Patricia Akwashiki, in Abuja on Saturday, the party described the move as the antics of a sinking man clutching at straws.
Akwashiki called on members of the party and concerned Nigerians to ignore the diversionary and divisive activities of Nwosu “who is presently lamenting over spilt milk like a whipped child”.
Akwashiki said;
“Nwosu is the former chairman whose tenure has elapsed who now seeks to pull the party down because he failed in his bid to extend his tenure after 17 years as a party chairman.
“All expulsions and suspensions from Nwosu and his cabal are merely diversionary and a face-saving measure as he faces investigation for fraud, forgery and impersonation by the Nigeria Police.
“The general public is, therefore, advised to ignore any statements emanating from Nwosu or any member of the former National Working Committee.
“Chief Ralph Nwosu has approached the courts to challenge his removal, so, he is advised to wait for the court ruling and stop making a fool of himself. The ADC has moved on.
“Nwosu had better wake up to reality. The constitution of the party is supreme and there is no provision therein for a life national chairman.”
