The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the expulsion of 11 members following resolutions reached at its National Convention held on Tuesday in Abuja.
The party, according to a press statement by its publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Wednesday, said the decision, taken at the convention held at the Rainbow Event Centre in Garki, was based on acts considered inconsistent with its constitution, values, and disciplinary framework.
Those expelled 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.
According to the party, the action followed the consideration and adoption of a motion on the discipline of erring members, which was presented and ratified by delegates at the convention.
The convention was held under the leadership of the party’s National Chairman, David Mark.
The ADC stated that the expulsion takes immediate effect, noting that the affected individuals have ceased to be members of the party and are free to join any political platform of their choice.
“The party reiterates its unwavering commitment to discipline, internal democracy, and the rule of law,” the statement said.
It added that the ADC would continue to uphold accountability as it positions itself as a credible alternative for Nigerians.
