The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has firmly denied reports claiming that Senator David Mark has resigned as the party’s National Chairman, calling the claims “an insidious fabrication” designed to create confusion. In a statement released by the Media Office of the National Chairman, the party dismissed the rumors as false and malicious, emphasizing that Senator Mark remains in office and has not stepped down. The ADC stressed that there is no intention by either Senator Mark or the party leadership to consider his resignation at this time.
Social media platforms had circulated unverified reports suggesting that David Mark has bowed out of his role, with speculation that Ralph Nwosu would take over as the party’s leader ahead of the upcoming convention. These claims gained traction online, prompting the ADC to issue a swift and official rebuttal. The party described the sources of the rumors as “puerile, weak, and inconsiderate propagandists” who seek to undermine its unity and credibility.
The ADC reiterated its focus on achieving electoral success in the 2027 general elections, highlighting that its leadership remains united and determined. “The assertion that Senator David Mark has stepped down exists only in the warped imagination of those bent on spreading falsehood and creating confusion within our party,” the statement read. The party also warned against any attempts to destabilize its structure, noting that such actions are driven by fear of the ADC’s growing political influence.
The ADC emphasized its commitment to strengthening democratic values and providing credible leadership to Nigerians. It reaffirmed its stance against any efforts to impose a one-party system or weaken Nigeria’s multi-party democracy. “The ADC, its leadership, and the majority of Nigerians are unbending in their collective determination to resist any plot aimed at undermining Nigeria’s multi-party democracy,” the statement added.
The party urged Nigerians to disregard the rumors and remain confident in the stability and leadership of the ADC. It called on members and supporters to stay focused on the party’s mission and objectives, especially as the 2027 elections draw nearer. The ADC remains committed to transparency, unity, and democratic principles in its political operations.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the ADC’s strong response underscores its determination to maintain internal cohesion and project a united front in the face of external challenges. The party’s leadership is poised to continue its campaign for democratic reforms and electoral victories in the years ahead.
