By ThankGod Inalegwu
The Wuse Ward chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the Federal Capital Territory has announced the indefinite suspension of Ireti Kingibe, senator representing the FCT, over alleged anti-party activities, insubordination and violations of party rules.
The decision was disclosed by the Wuse Ward Chairman, Kanayo Chukwu, during a stakeholders’ meeting attended by party executives and members in Abuja.
Chukwu said the suspension followed a general meeting of the ward held on March 10, 2026, where members deliberated on a number of allegations against the senator.
According to him, the meeting, which reportedly had more than 2,000 participants, considered accusations including the confiscation of the ward register, the alleged operation of a parallel registration exercise, persistent absence from ward meetings, failure to pay statutory party dues, and actions considered insubordinate to party leadership.
He said members resolved to suspend the senator after what he described as careful deliberation on the allegations.
“After due consideration of the above grave offences, a motion was moved by the general house for the immediate suspension of Senator Ireti Kingibe, and it was ratified by a two-thirds majority of the executives present,” Chukwu stated.
The ward chairman added that the decision had been formally submitted to the chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) chapter of the party, Omale Sule, for further ratification in line with party procedures.
Confirming receipt of the resolution, Sule said the matter would pass through the party’s internal process before any final decision is taken.
“As the party chairman at the local government level, I must wait for the official submission. Once received, it will be forwarded to the state chairman for further action,” he said.
Also speaking, the FCT chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Clement Ehijiator, said the development arose during a meeting initially convened to discuss membership registration and other party matters in the territory.
Ehijiator noted that the party leadership had received the report of the ward’s action and would review the allegations in line with the party’s constitution before transmitting its findings to the national leadership.
“As the constitutional chairman of the party in the FCT, I have received the report. We will examine the allegations and take appropriate steps in line with the party’s constitution before forwarding it to the national leadership,” he said.
Party members at the meeting also passed a vote of confidence in Ehijiator, commending his leadership and efforts to strengthen the party structure in the Federal Capital Territory.
