From Abbas Usman, Bauchi
Following the recent leadership crisis in the Bauchi State Chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which almost led to the formation of two factions, the National Youths Ambassadors Initiative (ANYA) has exonerated Alhaji Kashim Imam and Adamu Maina Waziri, from allegations and petitions seeking to misrepresent their actions in the party.
This was made known to party members in Bauchi and across during a Press conference held on Monday at the conference hall of NUJ Bauchi, where the Convener of ANYA, Ahmad Shehu Na-Allah, clarified to journalists that Imam and Waziri acted in the interest of peace, unity, and institutional stability, convening meetings and encouraging dialogue over confrontation.
The North-East Zonal Coordinator of the ANYA, Barr. Hashimu Bala Pali who spoke on behalf of the Convener, said that Imam and Waziri, acted with the consent of the party’s national chairman, emphasizing that the stakeholders’ position aligns with fair hearing and lawful political association principles, as enshrined in Sections 36 and 40 of the 1999 Constitution.
“The names of Alh. Kashim Imam and Adamu Maina Waziri have been mentioned in connection with the ongoing leadership misunderstanding within the Bauchi State Chapter of the ADC. We state categorically that both individuals acted in the interest of peace, unity, and institutional stability”, the ANYA said.
The National Convener accused Nazif Gamawa and Garba Dahiru Salenke of disrupting the party’s stability, urging action to prevent further conflict.
The convener insisted that Kashim Imam’s goodwill and kind gesture went beyond northern region and the 36 state party’s structure, making him relevant to the affairs of Bauchi State ADC members.
Shehu Na-Allah further explained that, as directed by Senator David Mark, National Chairman of the ADC, and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the
existing leadership structure at the local government level should be maintained and not be altered.
The group also sympathized with families of the people affected during the recent bandit attack in Gwana district, Alkaleri Local Government area of Bauchi State.
