According to her, the action was taken based on the party constitution but out of constitutional duty, the Electoral Act and their collective responsibility to protect the future of the party in Kano State.
“This important action is not out of preference, but out of constitutional duty.
Every action taken has been guided by the Constitution of our party, the Electoral Act, and our collective responsibility to protect the future of the ADC in Kano State.
“Our Constitution exists precisely for moments such as this. It provides a lawful path to restore stability, preserve continuity and ensure that the affairs of the party continue uninterrupted,” she said.

“When circumstances create a leadership vacuum within any political organisation, responsible leadership cannot fold its arms and watch uncertainty consume the institution. A political party is built on order, discipline and continuity. Without those pillars, confusion replaces organisation, and uncertainty replaces confidence.
She warned members of the party not to interpret the constitution of the caretaker committee as a judgment on the commitment, loyalty of faithful members of the party in the State.
“The constitution of a Caretaker Committee must never be interpreted as a judgment on the commitment, loyalty or contributions of the thousands of faithful members of our party across Kano State.
Far from it.Our members remain the greatest strength of this party.
The Deputy National chairman noted that many have sacrificed their time, resources and reputation to build the ADC from the grassroots, adding many have remained steadfast even when it was politically inconvenient to do so.
She therefore called all the party stakeholders and all other members to support this transitional arrangement in good faith.
