THE African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended its National Vice Chairman (Southsouth), Dr. Usani Uguru Usani, with immediate effect as crisis rocked the newly formed coalition party.
He is accused of violating the party’s constitution and engaging in activities deemed detrimental to the unity and progress of the party.
The ADC said it reached the decision at a meeting of the Cross River State’s Working Committee (SWC) of the party in Calabar last week.
The SWC also called for the replacement of Ms. Jackie Wayas as the party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary for lack of consultation with the state leadership before she was appointed.
A statement yesterday in Abuja by the ADC Cross River State Publicity Secretary, James Otudor, faulted Usani’s recent conducts, which he alleged were inconsistent with the provisions of the party’s constitution.
The statement reads:
“In accordance with the party’s constitution and disciplinary procedures, Dr. Usani’s suspension will remain in effect pending the outcome of a formal investigation by the relevant party organs.”
The committee expressed dissatisfaction with the appointment of Ms. Wayas. It alleged that she has not engaged with the Cross River State leadership of the party since assuming the role.
The SWC also alleged that her current disposition and loyalty appear to be skewed against the unity and growth of the ADC in the state.
“Consequently, the SWC urged the national leadership to review her appointment and replace her with a competent, credible, and media-savvy individual from Cross River State with a verifiable record of commitment to the ideals of the ADC.
“In addition, the Cross River ADC expressed concern over certain individuals under the Coalition Movement who publicly declared their intention to join the ADC but have yet to formalise their membership months after doing so.

“While acknowledging that party registration is a continuous process, the committee warned that the ADC will not tolerate dual membership or allow its platform to be used by individuals pursuing multiple partisan interests.
“It further noted that some coalition members who participated in ADC strategy meetings have since accepted caretaker or leadership positions in their former political parties,” the statement added.
