The All Progressives Congress (ADC) in Borno State has announced the resolution of its internal factional disputes, declaring the party fully united under a single leadership.
Speaking on behalf of the party, Ibrahim Umar Bolori, Chairman of the Interim Committee, confirmed that reconciliation efforts had successfully brought together previously divided factions, ending internal disagreements with the immediate past Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Kashim Ibrahim Imam.
It will be recalled that on January 13, Bolori accused Imam of attempting to unilaterally take control of the party’s structures in Borno State, an action he said could undermine internal democracy.
“We have resolved all our differences, and the party is now one. Every member is committed to working together for the growth of ADC in Borno,” he said.
Bolori, who had previously rejected the transition committee set up by Imam, has now officially recognised and accepted the committee as legal, saying it has come to stay.
He described Imam as the leader of ADC in Borno State and offered an apology to the party’s national leadership and the National Working Committee (NWC).
The reconciliation aimed to strengthen the party’s organisational structure ahead of upcoming political engagements in the state.
Bolori emphasised that the resolution would enable a more cohesive approach to mobilisation, governance, and electoral activities.
He noted that the unification of ADC in Borno enhanced its competitiveness in future elections, as a united party presents a stronger platform for policy advocacy and political influence.
The state leadership called on all members to maintain discipline and focus on advancing the party’s agenda, stressing that internal cohesion is essential for sustained growth and development.
“This is a new chapter for ADC in Borno. We are committed to ensuring that the party continues to be a credible force in the state’s political landscape,” the Chairman added.
Key officials at the press briefing included Yusuf Sherif Banki, Chairman of the Youth Forum, Hajja Yagana Monguno, the Woman Leader, and other executive members and stakeholders, all of whom acknowledged the importance of transparency, trust, and collective responsibility within the party.
