The David Mark-led faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expelled a factional chairman of the party, Nafiu Bala Gombe and the member representing Yagba federal constituency of Kogi State in the House of Representatives, Leke Abejide.
The party also announced the expulsion of other members, including a factional leader, Kingsley Temitope, Noman Obinna, Kennedy Odion, Stella Chukwuma, and four others.
According to the party, the affected members were expelled for alleged anti-party activities and attempts to create confusion and instability within the party.
The motion for their expulsion was moved by the senator for Adamawa South Senatorial District, Binos Yaroe and seconded by the member representing Kebbi/Tambuwal federal constituency at the House of Representatives, Abdussamad Dasuki.
The decision was taken at the party’s national convention in Abuja on Tuesday and was adopted by delegates through a voice vote.
Addressing delegates at the event, Chinedu Idigo, the party’s organising secretary, accused the ousted members of undermining the party by fueling internal divisions.
“They have sown seeds of discord within the party and sought to create factions, doubts, and confusion across the polity, the public, and regulatory authorities, thereby causing instability within the party,” he said.
“They were given time to retrace their actions but failed to do so.”
