1. Distinguished Senator Ireti intentionally withheld funds meant for campaigns during the recent Area Council election. After the election, when the deed was fully done and ADC has fully lost, she summoned the candidates and bribed them to keep shut claiming the money she raised was for her personal projects. Why release the money after the election when the party has already lost out. What else is anti party if not things like this.
2. The Distinguished Senator also deliberately starved the entire party and her EXCOs of funds, ensuring that we were never able to meet up with necessary activities to prosecute the huge demands of the election knowing fully well that we were paying for the running of the party from our personal funds. Haba, don’t we have a sitting Senator again?
3. Senator Ireti gave us a party office and turned back to retrieve it under strange circumstances for no justifiable reasons. Till date, ADC FCT is still holding important strategic meetings under trees even when we have a sitting senator. She later claimed to have restored the same office but till date, has refused to fully handover the same to us. It’s still operating as her constituency office. Who does that.
4. Distinguished Senator Ireti unilaterally claimed through her internally memo dated 9th March, 2026 and shared widely across our platforms that she has suspended all party activities in the FCT till further notice, a step she doesn’t have any constitutional backing to take. When one thinks that she took this step a month to a primary election leading to a major election in the country, what else would you call anti party?
The loving people of ADC ward deserve to be celebrated for their heroic performance. A senator that refused to come openly and campaign for her party in a serious election held under her constituency, how will a serious party attempt to go into a major election with such a candidate?
Let me kindly appeal to all the members of the NWC that ADC FCT has chosen the party and the country over an individual. We are suing for peace and our rights needs to be respected. Both party must be summoned to iron this out amicably. Do not attempt to muzzle or intimidate us into silence. We also deserve to be heard because this party belongs to all of us. We just want peace.
And in the Spirit of friendship, we extend a warm HANDSHAKE of peace and cooperation as we look forward to going into this election as a united force and face the real giant waiting for us.
May God help us succeed.
