ADC suspends Senator Ireti Kingibe

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended the representative of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the Senate, Senator Ireti Kingibe.

Kingibe was pronounced suspended by the Wuse Ward of the ADC after a general meeting that took place on March 10, 2026.

This was disclosed by the Wuse Ward Chairman, Kanayo Chukwu, during a stakeholders’ meeting attended by party executives and members in Abuja.

Chukwu said the suspension 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 had over 2,000 participants, considered accusations, including the confiscation of the ward register, alleged running of a parallel registration process, persistent absence from ward meetings, failure to pay statutory party dues, and acts considered insubordinate to the party leadership.

He said the meeting resolved to suspend the senator after what he described as due consideration of the grave offences.

He said: “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 added that the decision had been formally submitted to the Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council chapter of the party, Omale Sule, for further ratification in line with party procedures.

Sule, who confirmed receiving the resolution from the ward, said the matter would follow the appropriate party process before any final action is taken.

He said: 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.”

The Federal Capital Territory Chairman of the ADC, Clement Ehijiator, said the development emerged during a meeting initially convened to discuss membership registration and other party matters in the FCT.

Ehijiator said the leadership had received the report of the ward’s action and would review the allegations in accordance with the party’s constitution before transmitting its findings to the national leadership.

He said: “As the constitutional chairman of the party in the FCT, I have received the report. 

“We will examine the allegations and take appropriate steps in line with the party’s constitution before forwarding it to the national leadership.”
