Another Faction Emerges in ADC, Dissociates from David Mark-Led Coalition and Nafiu Bala’s Group A fresh faction has surfaced within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), declaring itself the authentic leadership of the party and distancing itself from both the Senator David Mark-led opposition coalition and the faction associated with Nafiu Bala. The new group, led by Don Norman Obinna, claims to be the duly elected National Executive Committee (NEC) members of the ADC. At a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, the faction stated that the tenure of former National Chairman Ralph Nwosu who handed over the party to the David Mark group officially ended in August 2022. It accused Nwosu of clinging to power illegally, which triggered multiple litigations. The group described Nwosu’s handover of the party to the opposition coalition as “an illegal act.” In a series of key resolutions announced during the briefing, the Obinna-led faction: - Fully dissociated itself from Senator David Mark and other members of the coalition. - Rejected Nafiu Bala, insisting he never held the position of National Vice Chairman. - Declared that the David Mark-led coalition “are not members of ADC and cannot speak for the party.” - Affirmed that the party’s former Presidential Candidate, Dumebi Kachikwu, remains a bona fide member of the ADC. - Appointed new members to manage the party’s affairs until a national convention is held.
