Nafiu Bala, former deputy national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has claimed he was misled by Ralph Nwosu, former national chairman of the party, about the purpose of a meeting held to adopt the ADC into a coalition. In an interview with AIT, Bala stated he did not know Nwosu planned to appoint David Mark, former Senate President, and Bola Aregbesola, former Minister of Interior, as leaders of the ADC during the event. He said he attended the gathering under the impression it was a routine coalition meeting, not a leadership inauguration. Bala described the process as undemocratic and insisted he was not consulted before the appointments were made. The event reportedly took place without prior notice to key party stakeholders. Bala questioned the legitimacy of the new leadership structure, citing lack of due process. He maintained that such decisions should follow internal party guidelines and involve all principal officers. No official response from Nwosu or the newly named leaders has been made public.
Ralph Nwosu orchestrated a leadership appointment in the ADC without informing the party's deputy national chairman, raising questions about internal democracy. Nafiu Bala's presence at the event, under false pretenses, exposes a rift among top officials who are now expected to work together. If key leaders were kept in the dark, rank-and-file members have little reason to expect transparency. This undermines any claim of cohesion within the party's new leadership.
