Another faction emerges in ADC

A new faction has emerged in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), rejecting the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, led by David Mark and distancing itself from Nafiu Bala’s faction.

The group, led by Don Norman Obinna, claimed to represent the legitimate National Executive Committee of the party.

According to the faction, it will manage the party’s affairs ahead of the next national convention.

At a briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, the faction said, “The tenure of Ralph Nwosu, who handed the party to the David Mark group, had ended in August 2022, and afterwards, he (Nwosu) had faced a series of litigations due to his failure to step down.”

It also clarified the status of Nafiu Bala, stating he “never held the position of National Vice Chairman,” and confirmed that former ADC presidential candidate “Dumebi Kachikwu is still a member of ADC.”

The faction announced that new interim leaders have been appointed to oversee party activities until the national convention.

Tribune Online reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had earlier announced it would remove the NWC of the party, led by David Mark, from its portal following a Court of Appeal ruling.
