The legal adviser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Taraba State, K.M. Chiroma, has rejected the purported removal of the state chairman, Amb. Charles Tiuda, describing the action as unconstitutional and without legal effect.

Chiroma, in a statement on the developing crisis within the party, said the procedure allegedly used to remove Tiuda did not comply with the provisions of the NDC constitution.

The legal adviser maintained that the state chairman remains in office, arguing that no individual or group within the party has the authority to remove an elected state chairman outside the procedure prescribed by the party’s governing document.

He said any attempt to effect a leadership change must follow the constitutional provisions governing the tenure, removal and replacement of elected party officials.

According to Chiroma, the purported removal has therefore created no valid legal consequence and should not be treated as an authorised decision of the party.

The development is the latest in a growing leadership dispute within the Taraba chapter of the NDC, with questions emerging over the authority behind the decision and the procedure reportedly adopted.

Chiroma warned party members and stakeholders against acting on what he described as an unconstitutional directive, stressing the need for members to respect the party’s constitution in resolving internal disagreements.

He also urged stakeholders to pursue dialogue and lawful mechanisms rather than actions that could further deepen the crisis.

The dispute comes at a sensitive period as political parties across the country intensify internal preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Leadership disputes at the state level could affect mobilisation, candidate selection and the ability of parties to coordinate their campaigns ahead of the elections.

The legal adviser’s position effectively challenges the legitimacy of the purported leadership change and leaves the status of Tiuda as state chairman at the centre of the dispute.

Party stakeholders are expected to seek clarification and possible resolution through the appropriate organs of the NDC.
