The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has established a Transitional Committee in Borno State, appointing Hon. Adamu Usman Tubo as Chairman and Hon. Sunusi Lawan Badawi as Secretary.
Tubo represents the Southern Borno Senatorial District, while Badawi is from Borno North. This information was disclosed in a circular signed by the party’s Assistant National Organising Secretary and North-East Organising Secretary, Hon. Mohammed Abba Kyari.
The circular indicates that these nominations were made following recent defections and realignments involving members from significant political parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), who have joined the ADC coalition to bolster the party's presence in the state.
Notable individuals identified as leaders and members of the ADC in Borno include former APC chieftain and past TETFund Chairman Mattawali Kashim Ibrahim-Imam; former APC governorship aspirant and 2023 Southern Borno senatorial candidate Alhaji Idris Mamman Durkwa; former NNPP 2023 senatorial candidate Alhaji Attom Magira; and former House Minority Leader and APC 2019 governorship aspirant Barrister Mohammed Kumalia.
Additional members include former Speakers of the Borno State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Bukar Kachallah and Rt. Hon. Bulama Fugu, alongside youth stakeholders such as Hon. Sheriff Banki, Hon. Abba Haruna, and Hon. Abba Masta.
The circular, dated December 18, 2025, and featuring the party’s national address at Plot 121, Ademola Adetokunbo Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja, was also sent to the offices of ADC National Chairman Senator David Mark, National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola, and National Organising Secretary Barrister Chinedu Odigbo.
“The committee will be chaired by Hon. Adamu Usman Tubo from the Borno South Senatorial District, with Hon. Sunusi Lawan Badawi from the Borno North Senatorial District serving as Secretary,” the circular noted.
It further emphasized that members were chosen based on their political backgrounds, local government areas, federal constituencies, and senatorial districts.
Political analysts suggest that the ADC is positioning itself as a significant opposition force in Borno State in anticipation of the 2027 elections, especially as the PDP grapples with internal issues nationwide.
