The African Democratic Congress (ADC) faction led by David
Mark has expelled Nafiu Bala, the party’s factional chairman, over alleged
anti-party activities.
The party also expelled several members, including Leke
Abejide, a member of the house of representatives, Kingsley Temitope, Obinna
Norman, Kennedy Odiong, and Stella Chukwuma.
Binos Yaroe, senator representing Adamawa south, moved a
motion to expel the party members on Tuesday at the party’s national convention
in Abuja, and it was adopted by delegates through a voice vote.
Addressing delegates at the event, Chinedu Idigo, the
party’s organising secretary, accused the ousted members of undermining the
party by fueling internal divisions.
“They have sown seeds of discord within the party and sought
to create factions, doubts, and confusion across the polity, the public, and
regulatory authorities, thereby causing instability within the party,” he said.
“They were given time to retrace their actions but failed to
do so.”
Since July 2025, when an opposition coalition took over the
ADC’s leadership, the party has been embroiled in internal disputes, with Bala
alleging that the Mark-led leadership was illegally appointed as the national
chairman.
On April 1, the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) derecognised Mark-led faction following an interim ruling of the court
of appeal.
The supreme court has fixed April 22 to hear an appeal filed
by Mark against a suit instituted by Bala, challenging his leadership.
