The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the expulsion of several members following resolutions reached at its National Convention held on April 14, 2026, in Abuja.

 

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said the decision followed the adoption of a disciplinary motion against members found to have acted contrary to its constitution and core values.

 

According to the statement, the convention, held at the Rainbow Event Centre, approved the expulsion after deliberations by delegates under the leadership of the party’s National Chairman, David Mark.

 

The party listed those affected to include Hon. Leke Abejide, Nafiu Bala Gombe, Mr. Kingsley Temitope Ogga, Mr. Don Norman Obinna, Mr. Kennedy Odion, Mr. Clement Ehigiator, Mrs. Stella Chukwuma, Patrick Ambut, Johny Tovie Derek, Duke Dick, and Elias Adikwu.

 

Quoting the statement, “the Party has approved the expulsion of certain individuals for acts deemed inconsistent with its constitution, values, and disciplinary framework.”

 

The ADC added that “with this action, the affected individuals cease to be members of the African Democratic Congress with immediate effect.”

 

It further stated that the expelled members are now free to explore other political platforms, noting that “any political party that may wish to receive them is free to do so.”

 

The party reiterated its commitment to discipline, internal democracy, and the rule of law.

 

“The ADC will continue to uphold the highest standards of accountability as it consolidates its position as a credible and viable alternative for Nigerians,” the statement added.
