The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has established a Transitional Committee in Borno State, appointing Hon. Adamu Usman Tubo as Chairman and Hon. Sunusi Lawan Badawi as Secretary.
Tubo represents the Southern Borno Senatorial District, whereas Badawi comes from Borno North. This information was included in a circular signed by the party’s Assistant National Organising Secretary and North-East Organising Secretary, Hon. Mohammed Abba Kyari.
As per the circular, these nominations were made following recent defections and realignments of members from significant political parties, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), Social Democratic Party (SDP), and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), who have joined the ADC coalition to bolster the party’s presence in the state.
Notable individuals identified as leaders and members of the ADC in Borno comprise former APC chieftain and past TETFund Chairman Mattawali Kashim Ibrahim-Imam; former APC governorship aspirant and 2023 Southern Borno senatorial candidate Alhaji Idris Mamman Durkwa; former NNPP 2023 senatorial candidate Alhaji Attom Magira; and former House Minority Leader and APC 2019 governorship aspirant Barrister Mohammed Kumalia.
Additionally, former Borno State House of Assembly Speakers Rt. Hon. Bukar Kachallah and Rt. Hon. Bulama Fugu are included, along with youth stakeholders such as Hon. Sheriff Banki, Hon. Abba Haruna, and Hon. Abba Masta.
The circular, dated December 18, 2025, and featuring the party’s national address at Plot 121, Ademola Adetokunbo Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja, was also sent to the offices of ADC National Chairman Senator David Mark, National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola, and National Organising Secretary Barrister Chinedu Odigbo.
“The committee will be chaired by Hon. Adamu Usman Tubo from the Borno South Senatorial District, while Hon. Sunusi Lawan Badawi from the Borno North Senatorial District will act as Secretary,” the circular indicated.
It was stated that members were chosen based on their political affiliations, local government regions, federal constituencies, and senatorial districts.
Political analysts indicate that the ADC is establishing itself as a significant opposition entity in Borno State in anticipation of the 2027 elections, while the PDP continues to encounter internal difficulties across the country.
