The Adamawa State chapter of the Labour Party (LP) has suspended four members over an alleged plot to remove the party’s state chairman.
The party said the members were suspended over alleged violations of its constitution and acts of insubordination.
The latest action has added to the growing leadership crisis within the Labour Party in Adamawa State.
Why the Labour Party Suspended Four Members
The Labour Party accused the four members of acting against the party’s rules.
It also alleged that they were involved in efforts to undermine the state leadership.
The party said their actions amounted to insubordination and breached its constitution.
As a result, the state chapter decided to suspend the members.
Adamawa Labour Party Faces Leadership Crisis
The suspension comes amid an ongoing dispute over the leadership of the Labour Party in Adamawa.
The party has recently experienced disagreements between different groups within the state chapter.
Some members have challenged decisions involving the state chairman.
Other party officials, however, have defended the leadership and rejected moves they consider unconstitutional.
The latest suspension could therefore increase tensions within the party.
Dispute Over State Chairman
The leadership crisis became more serious after a faction reportedly moved against state chairman Jonah Theman Kalpenge.
Supporters of the chairman rejected the move.
They argued that the decision did not follow the Labour Party’s constitution.
The disagreement has since created deeper divisions within the Adamawa chapter.
Labour Party Prepares for 2027
The internal crisis comes as Nigerian political parties begin preparing for the 2027 general elections.
For the Labour Party, maintaining unity will be important as preparations gather momentum.
Adamawa is one of the key states in the North-East.
The party will need a stable leadership structure to organise its members and prepare for the next election.
What Happens Next?
The latest suspension could lead to further reactions from the affected members.
It could also deepen the disagreement between rival groups within the Adamawa Labour Party.
The party’s leadership will now face the challenge of resolving its internal disputes while keeping members united.
A lasting solution could help the party focus on its political activities and preparations for 2027.
For now, the suspension has added another chapter to the Adamawa Labour Party leadership crisis.
The coming days could determine whether the dispute is resolved or develops into a wider internal conflict.
