The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised alarm over alleged membership forgery in Zamfara State.
The party said it uncovered suspicious activity involving its membership database. It warned that some individuals may be attempting to manipulate or inflate registration records.
According to the ADC, the situation goes beyond simple mistakes. It appears to involve deliberate efforts to falsify membership data and distort the party’s structure in the state.
Party officials said the development threatens internal trust. They also warned that it could affect the credibility of the party’s organisation in Zamfara.
The ADC called on security agencies and electoral authorities to step in. It said fake membership records could undermine democratic processes if left unchecked.
The party also advised members of the public to avoid unofficial registration agents. It stressed that only approved channels should be used for membership registration.
It further explained that it has launched internal checks to verify existing records. The party said it will identify any false entries and correct them immediately.
The ADC confirmed that investigations are still ongoing. It added that those found responsible will face appropriate action under party rules.
Party leaders said the goal is to protect the integrity of the system. They also want to prevent future cases of fraud and impersonation.
The development adds to growing concerns across political parties in Nigeria. Many parties have reported fake membership drives and digital manipulation of records.
These issues have raised questions about internal monitoring systems. They have also increased calls for stricter verification processes.
Despite the controversy, the ADC said it remains committed to transparency. It also reaffirmed its focus on discipline and credible internal processes.
