According to our constitution, before you are suspended, you have to go to the Ward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the Ward Chairman and board executive that can suspend me and not the state working committee. The two of them can\u2019t constitute themselves to be State working committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive me some few days if I\u2019m the National leader of ADC or not, you will know. We will send them (Atiku, David Mark, Aregbesola, Amaechi, Peter Obi) back to where they came from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a lie, they have not taken over the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to our constitution, you can\u2019t hold a National office except you are two years in the party and there is no room for an Interim leader.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the next few days we will know whether I\u2019m the National leader of ADC or not, we will send them back to where they came from.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
