The State Chairmen Forum of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) publicly dismissed the party's two rival groups headed by former Senate President David Mark and former National Assembly member Nafiu Bala. The announcement was made on Tuesday in Abuja during a press briefing attended by the forum's members.
Don Obinna, who chairs the ADC in Abia State, addressed the gathering and accused Mark and Bala of "hijacking" the party from the "bonafide" members. He said the factions had taken control without the consent of the party's grassroots structures.
Following the condemnation, the forum declared that an interim leadership would be installed to steer the party until internal disputes are resolved. No further details on the interim team were provided at the conference.
Don Obinna's outright rejection of David Mark's faction signals a deep split that could weaken the ADC's cohesion ahead of upcoming elections, leaving voters uncertain about the party's direction.
