President Bola Ahmad Tinubu

 

A group, the Northern Democratic Alliance (NDA) has discovered a well articulated plan of action being put in place by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to destabilize the North.

According to the group, the plan is to weaken the North socially, politically and economically so as to make it unable to challenge him (Tinubu) in 2027.

This is contained in a statement issued by the Convener of NDA, Mallam Hamisu Abdullahi Gombe and Secretary, Mr. Josiah Danjuma Pam in Kaduna on Saturday.

In the statement made available to the media also on Saturday, the group however warned leaders of the region not to be complacent and slack but wake up to the new reality confronting the region.

“We are using this occasion and opportunity provided by this medium to call on all well meaning leaders in the North, be they secular and religious to brace up for what is coming to our land.

“Certain leaders have been marked down, some of them are for governor of Kaduna State, Mall. Nasir Elrufai, Sen. Kwankwaso, Atiku Abubakar, Sen. Danjuma Goje, Sen. Sani Yerima, Sen. Yari and many others not to mention.

“We are also calling on them to close ranks in the interest of our people so as not to be caught off guard,” the statement reads in part.

According to the group, “The president sensing his growing unpopularity in the country, particularly in the North is aiming to snatch key states in the region and he has started.”

The group stated that the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC) is doing all it can to snatch key states of Zamfara, Kano and Plateau from the opposition with a view to installing the stooges into office who will in turn ensure that the party wins the states by hook or crook.

Sounding a note of warning, the NDA urged leaders in the region not to see the developments as mere political or consigned to the judiciary, the leaders must unite to stop president Tinubu imperial and dictatorship tendency.

It stated that the consequences for allowing the trend to continue will further cause untold problems for the North which is currently on the reeling under the yoke of armed banditry and Boko Haram insurgency.

“Only last week, the president was quick in intervening in the political crises in Ondo state where the governor and the deputy governor were at loggerhead because it’s a Yoruba state but at the same time, he’s fueling political tensions in the north using judiciary as a tool.

“The people of Kano state elected their governor peacefully without any rancour, all of sudden some pliant judges at the tribunal criminally manufactured a judgement saying about 165,000 ballot papers were not stamped and that the governor is not a member of NNPP, all these are lies, Nigerians are not fool as they think” he said.

Ambassador Abdulrahman Mai Nasara Salga, a prominent ADC leader from Dala, Kano, has welcomed the influx of influential politicians into the party, describing it as a sign of ADC’s growing acceptance.

Salga, who contested for the federal legislature in Dala during the 2023 general election, says the party’s progress is heartening, having worked tirelessly to promote ADC’s agenda and position it as a viable alternative for good governance.

He highlights the entry of Kwankwasiyya leader Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, former Kano State Deputy Governor Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam, and APC’s 2025 gubernatorial candidate Dr. Nasir Yusuf Gawuna, among others, as major boosts that are transforming ADC into a formidable opposition force.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has formally updated its official portal to reflect changes in the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), signaling the commission’s recognition of the leadership dispute within the party.

The commission confirmed that the removal of the National Working Committee (NWC) led by David Mark followed a detailed review of a recent Court of Appeal judgment and an ongoing suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

According to INEC, the decision comes after receiving conflicting legal representations from the two factions vying for control of the party. One faction, loyal to Nafiu Bala Gombe, urged the commission to enforce the appellate court’s ruling, which includes withdrawing recognition from the Mark-led NWC. The other faction, aligned with Mr. Mark, advised INEC against recognizing Mr. Gombe as acting national chairman, citing the pending legal proceedings.

The leadership crisis traces back to July 2025, when the ADC’s former leadership resigned, paving the way for a new executive committee headed by Mr. Mark. Mr. Gombe, a former vice-national chairman, has challenged this transition, arguing that the party’s constitution mandates his ascension to the leadership role.

In a ruling delivered on March 12, 2026, the Court of Appeal dismissed an interlocutory appeal filed by Mr. Mark. The court ordered all parties to maintain the status quo ante bellum—the state of affairs before the crisis—pending the resolution of the substantive suit at the Federal High Court.

Operatives of the Department of State Services on Wednesday took former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, into custody moments after proceedings at the Federal High Court in Kaduna.

El-Rufai, standing trial over alleged corruption, had just concluded a hearing on his bail application filed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission when DSS operatives bundled him into a waiting vehicle and drove him away, reportedly heading to Abuja.

A heavy DSS presence around the court before the hearing had fuelled speculation that the former governor might be taken into custody.

Security sources said vehicles had been strategically positioned around the court prior to proceedings.

El-Rufai had arrived at the court at about 9:05 a.m. in a Hilux van, drawing attention from security personnel and observers.

Speaking to journalists after the proceedings, lead defence counsel, Oluwole Iyamu (SAN), confirmed that the court had fixed April 14 for ruling on the bail application.

“The bail application was argued and responded to, and the ruling has been fixed for April 14.

“We look forward to that day. We are hopeful. We have put our arguments before the court, and this is a court of justice.

“We await the decision of the court,” he added.

He also noted that the defence team is prepared for a related case scheduled for April 10 at the Federal High Court in Abuja, describing it as “a separate matter.”

“That is a separate matter. As lawyers, we are ready. We have filed all necessary processes and will be in court. That is the DSS matter,” he said.
