The African Democratic Congress has denied reports that Senator Ireti Kingibe, representing the Federal Capital Territory, has been suspended by the party.
In a statement issued on Thursday, March 12, and signed by National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said it is unaware of any such suspension and urged the public to disregard the reports.
Online reports had claimed Kingibe was suspended for allegedly withholding campaign funds and refusing to campaign for the party.
However, the ADC said the reports are false and misleading.
“The African Democratic Congress is unaware of any suspension of Senator Ireti Kingibe, the distinguished Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory,” the statement read.

The party emphasised that it follows clear constitutional procedures when addressing allegations involving its members.
“As a law-abiding political party, the ADC has clear constitutional procedures for addressing any allegations involving its members. Such matters are handled through established internal mechanisms, not through press statements.”
The ADC called on the public and media to dismiss the suspension claims.
“We therefore urge the public and the media to disregard the reports suggesting that Senator Ireti Kingibe has been suspended by the party, as they are false and misleading,” the statement concluded.
Kingibe dumped the Labour Party (LP) for the ADC, in July 2025, citing the division in the Labour Party.
