The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has replaced its Kano State executive committee with a 14-member caretaker team led by Musa Ungogo, following the expiration of the outgoing leadership’s tenure.
The interim arrangement will take immediate effect and remain in place for six months, pending the election of a new state executive.
The party’s National Working Committee communicated the decision in a letter dated November 9 and signed by National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola. Ungogo made the letter available to The PUNCH on Tuesday.
Under the new structure, Nura Makoda will serve as deputy chairman, while Bala Takai takes the position of secretary. Tasi’u Fagge was named deputy secretary, Ahmed Panda treasurer, A’isha Humaira Kano financial secretary and Saidu Bello publicity secretary.
Other appointments include Muhammad Yahaya as legal adviser, Yusuf Bature as welfare secretary, Mamina Lamido as organising secretary and Sa’adu Zango Mata as auditor.
The committee’s representation roles went to Adamu Mekoriya as leader of persons with disabilities, Murja Aliyu as women leader and Isa Tukur Garo as youth leader.
Following his appointment, Ungogo called on party members to work together to strengthen the ADC’s organisation across Kano State.
He said the committee would prioritise transparency and inclusive leadership, while retaining the input of party elders in its decisions.
Ungogo also urged members to set aside internal differences and build a stronger grassroots presence. He criticised the incumbent government’s policies, describing them as corrupt, divisive and unpopular.
