The Wuse Ward of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the Federal Capital Territory has announced the indefinite suspension of Senator Ireti Kingibe over alleged anti-party activities, insubordination and violation of party rules.
The decision was disclosed by the ward chairman, Kanayo Chukwu, during a stakeholders’ meeting attended by party executives and members in Abuja.
Chukwu said the action followed a general meeting of the ward held on March 10, 2026, where members deliberated on several allegations against the senator.
According to him, the meeting, which reportedly attracted more than 2,000 participants, considered accusations including the confiscation of the ward register, the alleged conduct of a parallel registration exercise, persistent absence from ward meetings, failure to pay statutory party dues, and acts considered insubordinate to the party leadership.
He said members resolved to suspend the senator after what he described as careful consideration of 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 said.
He added that the resolution had been forwarded to the chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council chapter of the party, Omale Sule, for further ratification in line with party procedures.
Party Leadership to Review Decision
Sule confirmed receipt of the resolution and said the matter would follow the appropriate party procedures 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.
