Nafiu Bala, the Factional National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has declared the national convention led by former Senate President David Mark as illegal. Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Friday, Bala dismissed the event, asserting that the coalition groups involved do not represent recognized members of the party. He emphasized that the convention, convened by the Mark-led faction, lacks legal standing, rendering any decisions made during the event invalid.
Bala reiterated that the party’s duly constituted and legitimate leadership does not acknowledge the gathering or its outcomes. The ADC has been embroiled in internal disputes regarding its leadership, with rival factions holding separate conventions to assert control. This latest development highlights the ongoing crisis within the party, which could significantly impact its political standing and cohesion as it approaches future elections.
The faction led by Bala has urged party members and the public to disregard the Mark-led convention, warning that any actions taken by that group are legally void. The party’s leadership remains committed to resolving the internal conflict through legal and constitutional means. As the dispute continues, observers are closely monitoring how the ADC navigates this leadership crisis and its implications for the party’s future.
