The (ADC) has resolved the leadership dispute over its Plateau State chapter following a decision by the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) at its national headquarters in Abuja.
The resolution brings to an end the protracted tussle between Ambassador Hannatu Gagara and Hon. Samuel Pam Gyang over the position of authentic State Chairman.
The NWC’s decision was based on recommendations submitted by a reconciliation committee constituted on October 14, 2025, by the Zonal National Vice Chairman (North Central), Senator Tunde Ogbeha. The committee upheld the reinstatement of all congress-elected chairmen in accordance with Article 18 of the party’s constitution, which provides a four-year tenure for such officials.
Following the resolution, Ambassador Gagara has assumed office as the National Assistant Zonal Woman Leader (North Central). Plateau State now has two representatives at the party’s national headquarters, including former Minister and party leader, Barrister Solomon Dalung, alongside Gagara.
In a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Silas Audu Wettok, the party expressed appreciation to residents, security agencies and community elders across the 17 local government areas of Plateau State for maintaining peace throughout the dispute.
The ADC also reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening inclusive political structures in Plateau State ahead of the 2027 general elections, assuring residents of its readiness to justify their confidence.
