The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports which claimed that Senator David Mark has resigned as the party’s National Chairman.
In a statement issued by the Media Office of the National Chairman, the party described the claim as “an insidious fabrication” orchestrated by individuals it termed as “puerile, weak, and inconsiderate propagandists.”
The statement categorically affirmed that Senator Mark remains the substantive National Chairman of the party, stressing that there is no contemplation whatsoever of his resignation either by him or the leadership of the ADC.
NOP NIGERIA understands that reports had emerged on social media claiming David Mark has bowed out as the ADC National Chairman, and Ralph Nwosu is set to lead the party to its convention.
However, the party has dismissed the report and described it as false and malicious.
The ADC added that it is focused on achieving victory in the upcoming elections.
“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 further emphasized that the ADC leadership remains united, focused, and resolute in its mission to strengthen democratic values and provide credible leadership to Nigerians.
It warned against attempts to destabilize the party, noting that such efforts are driven by fear of the ADC’s growing influence and the emerging political permutations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“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 or imposing a one-party system,” the statement added.
The party called on Nigerians to disregard the rumours and remain confident in the leadership and stability of the ADC.
