The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports claiming that Ireti Kingibe has been suspended from the party, describing the claims as false and misleading.
Kingibe currently represents the Federal Capital Territory in the Senate.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the party was not aware of any decision to suspend the senator and urged the public to disregard the circulating reports.
“The African Democratic Congress is unaware of any suspension of Senator Ireti Kingibe, the distinguished Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory,” he said.
Abdullahi stressed that the party has clearly defined constitutional procedures for addressing allegations involving its members.
He explained that the party follows internal mechanisms when dealing with such issues rather than resolving them through public statements in the media.
“As a law-abiding political party, the ADC has clear constitutional procedures for addressing any allegations involving its members. Such matters are handled through established internal mechanisms, not through press statements,” Abdullahi said.
The party therefore called on the public and media organisations to ignore the reports suggesting that Kingibe had been suspended.
“We therefore urge the public and the media to disregard the reports suggesting that Senator Ireti Kingibe has been suspended by the party, as they are false and misleading,” the statement added.
