ADC clears air on David Mark resigning as National Chairman

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has debunked reports alleging that its Interim National Chairman, David Mark, has resigned from his position.
The party described the claims as false and misleading.
In a statement issued by the National Chairman’s Media Office, the reports were dismissed as “an insidious fabrication” orchestrated by “puerile, weak and inconsiderate propagandists”.
The statement maintained that Mark remains the substantive National Chairman of the party, stressing that there is no plan or discussion regarding his resignation.
“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 said.
It further noted that the party’s leadership remains united and committed to strengthening democratic principles and offering credible leadership to Nigerians.
The statement warned against attempts to destabilise the ADC, attributing such efforts to fears over the party’s rising influence and evolving political dynamics 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 urged Nigerians to ignore the rumours and remain assured of stability in the leadership of the ADC.
