ADC Crisis Deepens as Nafiu Bala Declares Self Authentic National Chairman

Addressing the press at his resumption, Bala described
himself as the authentic National Chairman of the ADC.

He explained that the electoral act and ADC’s constitution
put him as the natural successor after Ralph Nwosu resigned as the party’s
National Chairman.

Nwosu had resigned from his position after the opposition
coalition adopted ADC, a few months ago.

Upon Nwosu’s resignation, David Mark was appointed as the
Interim National Chairman of the party.

But Bala, who is the Deputy National Chairman had accused
the coalition leaders like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of hijacking
the ADC.

However, Bala said: “As our party’s National leadership, we
are not aware of any change of leadership.

“Our party’s former National chairman voluntarily resigned
his position as the national Chairman of the party.

“Our party’s constitution is very clear on the transfer of
power or what we can do when the party’s national chairman resigns.

“As far as our party is concerned, the electoral act and our
party constitution says the deputy National Chairman can takeover the
leadership of the party.

“I now resume office as the authentic National Chairman of
our great party, the African Democratic Congress, APC.”
