The State Chairmen Forum of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has rejected the party’s factions led by David Mark and Nafiu Bala.
Speaking on behalf of the forum at a press conference on Tuesday in Abuja, Don Obinna, chairman of the ADC in Abia, said Mark and Bala “hijacked” the party from the “bonafide” members.
He backed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) decision to withdraw recognition from the Mark and Bala factions following an interim ruling by the appeal court.
Obinna said Dumebi Kachikwu, the party’s former presidential candidate, remains a member of the ADC, describing his expulsion as “an act of desperation taken too far”.
“We disassociate the ADC from David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, Bolaji Abdullahi, prof Osunbor and all members of the so-called coalition who attempted to hijack our party and state that all actions taken by them in the name of the ADC are not binding on the ADC,” Obinna said.
“We disassociate the ADC from the claims of Nafiu Gombe and firmly and unequivocally state that he has never held the position of deputy chairman of the ADC.
