The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports claiming its National Chairman, David Mark, has resigned, describing the allegations as fabricated and misleading. The party insists its leadership remains intact amid ongoing political tensions ahead of the 2027 elections.
ADC Rejects Resignation Claims
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has strongly refuted reports suggesting that its National Chairman, David Mark, has stepped down from his position.
In an official statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Paul Mumeh, the party described the claim as “false,” “malicious,” and a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.
The statement characterised the reports as “an insidious fabrication” allegedly spread by individuals seeking to create confusion within the party’s ranks.
Party Insists Leadership Remains Stable
According to the statement, there is no indication that Mark has considered resigning, nor has the party’s leadership discussed any such move.
“The assertion that Senator David Mark has stepped down exists only in the imagination of those intent on spreading falsehood,” the statement said.
The ADC maintained that its leadership structure remains united and focused on strengthening internal cohesion and advancing its political agenda.
Warning Against Attempts to Destabilise Party
The party also warned against what it described as efforts to destabilise its operations, attributing such actions to concerns over its rising political profile ahead of the 2027 general elections.
It stated that both the party leadership and its supporters are committed to defending Nigeria’s multi-party democratic system against any perceived attempts to undermine it.
Call for Public Confidence
Reaffirming its commitment to democratic principles, the ADC urged Nigerians to disregard the circulating rumours and remain confident in its leadership.
The party emphasised its readiness to provide credible political alternatives as the country prepares for the next electoral cycle.
