The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has formed a Transitional Committee in Borno State, appointing Hon. Adamu Usman Tubo as Chairman and Hon. Sunusi Lawan Badawi as Secretary. The nominations, detailed in a circular signed by the party’s Assistant National Organising Secretary and North‑East Organising Secretary, Hon. Mohammed Abba Kyari, aim to position the ADC as a major opposition force in Borno ahead of the 2027 elections.
The committee draws its members from across the state’s senatorial districts: Tubo hails from the Southern Borno Senatorial District, while Badawi represents Borno North. Its composition reflects recent defections and realignments involving politicians from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), Social Democratic Party (SDP) and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), all of whom have joined the ADC coalition to bolster its presence in the state.
Prominent figures now aligned with the ADC include former APC chieftain and ex‑TETFund Chairman Mattawali Kashim Ibrahim‑Imam, former APC governorship aspirant and 2023 Southern Borno senatorial candidate Alhaji Idris Mamman Durkwa, and former NNPP 2023 senatorial candidate Alhaji Attom Magira. Additional notable members are former Borno State House of Assembly Speakers Rt. Hon. Bukar Kachallah and Rt. Hon. Bulama Fugu, as well as youth stakeholders Hon. Sheriff Banki, Hon. Abba Haruna and Hon. Abba Masta.
The circular, dated 18 December 2025, outlines the committee’s composition, selecting members based on their political backgrounds, local government areas, federal constituencies and senatorial districts. The ADC’s national leadership—National Chairman Senator David Mark, National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola and National Organising Secretary Barrister Chinedu Odigbo—have been informed of the development.
As the PDP grapples with internal challenges nationwide, the ADC’s move is viewed as an effort to fill the opposition vacuum in Borno State. With the 2027 elections approaching, the party’s ability to consolidate its position and present a united front will be crucial to its success, and its activities are likely to be closely monitored by political observers and analysts in the coming months.
