The Points:
A faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has rejected claims of leadership by former Senate President David Mark and his associates. The faction emphasized that only bona fide party members are eligible to seek leadership roles following Chief Ralph Nwosu’s resignation as National Chairman.
In a statement issued by Dr. Aminu Sani Alhassan, the factional Interim National Chairman, Nafiu Bala, the ADC reiterated that the party’s constitution strictly requires leadership candidates to be official members of the party. The resignation of Nwosu has initiated a constitutional process to appoint his successor, and the proper procedure involves a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.
Key Points:
- ADC faction rejects David Mark’s claim to leadership
- The party stresses that only bona fide members can seek leadership roles
- Resignation of Nwosu triggers constitutional process for new leadership
- Nafiu Bala reaffirmed as legitimate ADC National Chairman
- NEC meeting will determine the leadership transition within ADC
- David Mark’s actions are deemed a violation of ADC’s governance structure
- The party calls for unity and loyalty among genuine members
This rejection underlines the ADC’s commitment to its constitutional framework and democratic values, ensuring leadership transitions are conducted with integrity and transparency.
