The National Youth Ambassadors Initiative (ANYA) has clarified that senior African Democratic Congress (ADC) figures, Alhaji Kashim Imam and Adamu Maina Waziri, have no involvement in the leadership dispute within the Bauchi chapter of the party.
Speaking at a press conference at the Bauchi Secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) on Tuesday, the ANYA Convener, Ahmad Shehu Hassan Na-Allah, affirmed that both leaders acted to promote peace, unity, and institutional stability within the party, prioritising dialogue over confrontation.
Northeast Zonal Coordinator of ANYA, Hashimu Bala Pali, reiterated that Imam and Waziri operated with the consent of the party’s national chairman, adding that their actions respect principles of fair hearing and lawful political association as guaranteed by sections 36 and 40 of the 1999 Constitution.
“The names of Alhaji Kashim Imam and Adamu Maina Waziri have been unfairly linked to the leadership disputes in Bauchi. We state categorically that both acted in the interest of peace and party stability,” the group said.
