The party said it remains committed to democratic ideals...
Nigeria's Opposition party the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Sunday dismissed as false and malicious reports alleging that its National Chairman, David Mark, has stepped down from his position.
In a statement issued by the chairman's spokesman Paul Mumeh, the party described the claim as “an insidious fabrication” orchestrated by individuals it called “puerile, weak and inconsiderate propagandists.”
The party said Mark remains the substantive national chairman, saying that there is no contemplation of his resignation either by him or the ADC leadership.
“The assertion that Mark has stepped down exists only in the warped imagination of those bent on spreading falsehood and creating confusion within our party,” it said.
The ADC said its leadership remains united, focused and resolute in its mission to strengthen democratic values and provide credible leadership to Nigerians.
It warned against attempts to destabilise the party, saying such efforts are driven by fear of its growing influence and emerging political permutations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The ADC, its leadership and the majority of Nigerians are unbending in their collective determination to resist any plot aimed at undermining Nigeria’s multi-party democracy or imposing a one-party system,” it said.
The party urged Nigerians to disregard the rumours and remain confident in its leadership and stability.
