The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has stated that it is not aware of any court proceedings against it regarding the ongoing leadership dispute. According to the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC has completed the administrative process of changing its leadership.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Wednesday, Abdullahi responded to questions about the situation. He said that despite claims and threats made by some individuals, the party is not aware of any legal action being taken against it. Abdullahi noted that some people have held press conferences and made claims, but ultimately, they are unable to follow through on their statements.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recognized the new leadership of the ADC on Wednesday, with former Senate President David Mark as the National Chairman and former Minister of Interior Rauf Aregbesola as the National Secretary. This development comes amid the party’s efforts to resolve its internal disputes.
The ADC’s leadership tussle has been a subject of interest in recent times, with various factions and individuals staking claims to the party’s leadership. However, with INEC’s recognition of the new leadership, it appears that the party is taking steps to move forward and establish a clear direction.
The recognition of the ADC’s new leadership by INEC is a significant development, as it provides clarity on the party’s hierarchy and structure. This move is expected to have implications for the party’s future activities and engagements. As the ADC continues to navigate its internal challenges, the party’s ability to establish a stable and effective leadership will be crucial in determining its success in the political landscape.
