Truth About Leadership of ADP in Plateau State: Party Warns Public Against Recognizing Bitrus Boyi

The Plateau State chapter of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) has warned members of the public, party faithful, and stakeholders against recognizing or conducting official business with Mr. Bitrus Boyi Ngah as the chairman of the party in the state.

The warning was issued during a press conference held on Saturday at the party’s Northern Zone Office in Anguldi, Jos, where party leaders sought to clarify the ongoing leadership dispute within the state chapter.

Addressing journalists, the party maintained that Bitrus Boyi ceased to function as Acting Chairman following resolutions reached during a stakeholders’ congress held on January 23, 2026, at TEEST Hotel, Jos.

According to the party, the congress was attended by zonal chairmen, local government executives, members of the State Working Committee, party elders, and other stakeholders from across Plateau State.

The party explained that several petitions and complaints against Boyi and his deputy, Comrade Peter Falah Takah, were considered during the meeting.

To investigate the allegations, stakeholders constituted a seven-member disciplinary committee headed by Mr. Danjuma Auta.

The committee later submitted its report to the State Working Committee led by Mr. Nansoh Silas Miri, who subsequently forwarded the report and resolutions of the congress to the party’s National Headquarters.

“The party hereby advises the public to exercise caution and refrain from engaging in any official transaction, negotiation, agreement, or political activity purportedly carried out on behalf of the Plateau State chapter of ADP by Mr. Bitrus Boyi Ngah.”

The party said all records, minutes, petitions, reports, and other documents relating to the leadership matter are available for verification by any interested authority or stakeholder.

ADP leaders also questioned the position of the National Leadership, which they said had repeatedly described the January 23 congress as illegal.

“The meeting was convened in the same manner and through the same processes as several previous meetings whose outcomes were never challenged. We therefore continue to ask: what specifically made the January 23 meeting illegal?”

The state chapter argued that concerns over Boyi’s leadership had existed since 2024 and were not issues that emerged suddenly.

The party further alleged that efforts were made after the congress to pressure members of the State Working Committee into abandoning the resolutions reached by stakeholders.

“We resisted those pressures because we believe that leadership in a democratic party must derive its legitimacy from the consent and confidence of members.”

The party also expressed concern over reports of plans to conduct a congress or ratification exercise aimed at installing leaders without broad consultation with party members and stakeholders.

It warned that any attempt to impose leadership structures on members would undermine the democratic principles upon which the party was founded.

The ADP reiterated that Mr. Nansoh Silas Miri emerged as Acting Chairman following the January 23 stakeholders’ meeting and remains the recognized leader of the party in Plateau State according to the resolutions reached at the congress.

“The Plateau State chapter remains united behind the leadership of Mr. Nansoh Silas Miri and committed to preserving peace, stability, and progress within the party pending the conduct of congresses and the emergence of substantive leadership.”

The party emphasized that its decision to address the public was motivated by a commitment to truth, accountability, and internal democracy rather than personal grievances.

“We remain committed to dialogue, reconciliation, and peaceful resolution of all internal disagreements. However, we shall not remain silent when facts are distorted, when members are misled, or when the collective will of party stakeholders is disregarded.”

The statement was signed by Mr. Nansoh Silas Miri, Acting Chairman of the Action Democratic Party in Plateau State, and Yemeh John, Acting Publicity Secretary.
