The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has received official recognition from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its new leadership, led by former Senate President David Mark. According to Bolaji Abdullahi, the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, this recognition has resolved concerns among party members regarding INEC’s stance on the leadership. Abdullahi made this statement during an interview on “Politics Today,” a program on Channels Television.
The delay in INEC’s recognition had sparked concerns among ADC members, but Abdullahi emphasized that the official confirmation has empowered the party to formally register new members. He also addressed internal party disputes, stating that the ADC is not engaged in a leadership struggle. Abdullahi advised those opposing David Mark’s leadership to seek redress through the court system, emphasizing that the party’s position is clear.
The recognition by INEC is a significant development for the ADC, as it provides clarity on the party’s leadership structure. The ADC has been working to strengthen its position and expand its membership, and the official recognition is expected to facilitate these efforts. With the leadership issue resolved, the party can now focus on its goals and objectives, including registering new members and preparing for future elections.
The ADC’s leadership, under David Mark, has been working to promote the party’s ideals and values, and the recognition by INEC is a milestone in this process. As the party moves forward, it is likely to face various challenges, but the official recognition provides a foundation for its future activities. The ADC’s ability to resolve internal disputes and receive recognition from INEC demonstrates its commitment to democratic principles and the rule of law.
