The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the expulsion of several members over alleged anti-party activities and conduct deemed inconsistent with its constitution and core values.
The decision, according to a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, followed resolutions reached at the ADC National Convention held on April 14, 2026, at the Rainbow Event Centre, Garki, Abuja.
Those affected by the expulsion include Hon. Leke Abejide, Nafiu Bala Gombe, Kingsley Temitope Ogga, Don Norman Obinna, Kennedy Odion, Clement Ehigiator, Stella Chukwuma, Patrick Ambut, Johny Tovie Derek, Duke Dick, and Elias Adikwu.
The party explained that the action was taken after the adoption of a disciplinary motion against members found to have violated its internal rules and principles. The motion was presented and ratified by delegates at the convention under the leadership of the National Chairman, Senator David Mark.
“With this action, the affected individuals cease to be members of the African Democratic Congress with immediate effect,” the statement noted, adding that they are free to join any political party of their choice.
The ADC emphasized that the move underscores its commitment to discipline, internal democracy, and the rule of law, noting that it remains focused on maintaining accountability and strengthening its position as a credible political alternative in Nigeria.
The party reaffirmed its resolve to uphold its constitution and ensure that members adhere strictly to its guiding principles.
