Usani Usani, the party’s National Vice Chairman (South-South), was fired as a result of what the African Democratic Congress (ADC) described as “actions and utterances that are against the party’s constitution and harm its unity and progress.”

The Cross River State chapter of the party announced the suspension in a statement signed by James Otudor, its public relations secretary. It will take effect immediately.
The State Working Committee (SWC) meeting on October 15, 2025 in Calabar, reportedly held the decision, citing the statement.
It claimed that the SWC found Usani guilty of engaging in anti-party activities, wilful insubordination to constituted authority, and other acts that could undermine the ADC’s reputation, cohesion, and electoral prospects after extensive deliberations on several petitions and credible reports.
The decision was made after extensive analysis of Dr. Usani’s actions, utterances, and conduct that was found to be grossly incompatible with the party’s unity, discipline, and advancement both in Cross River State and across the South-South geopolitical zone, according to the statement.

ADC Constitution
The party claimed that the suspension complied with the ADC constitution’s and disciplinary code’s requirements, pending the results of investigations and disciplinary proceedings brought on by the appropriate party organs.
The party claimed that the committee had expressed dissatisfaction with Jackie Wayas’ appointment as Deputy National Publicity Secretary because she had not worked with the state leadership since.
Since no consultation with state leaders was conducted in advance, it was decided that her appointment was not necessary for the party in Cross River State.
The committee also urged the state’s leadership to reshuffle her with a “competent, credible, and media-savvy individual” with a demonstrated commitment to the party’s ideals and that her loyalty appeared to be “skewed against the unity and growth of the ADC” in the state.
Coalition
The statement addressed concerns over the actions of some members of the coalition movement who had publicly stated their intentions to join the ADC but failed to do so months later.
It warned that the party would not accept a dual membership or permit the use of its platform by those with multiple partisan goals.
Within the next seven days, the statement read, “All coalition leaders and intending members are directed to finish the formalization of their membership at their respective ward levels, ending on Saturday, October 25, 2025,” according to the statement.
