The African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Wednesday, April 15, announced the expulsion of 11 chieftains from the party for what it described as “acts deemed inconsistent with its constitution, values, and disciplinary framework.”
The expulsion was announced in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, saying it takes immediate effect.
The names of those expelled were given as Honourable Leke Abejide, Nafiu Bala Gombe, Mr. Kingsley Temitope Ogga, Mr. Don Norman Obinna, Mr. Kennedy Odion, Mr. Clement Ehigiator, Mrs. Stella Chukwuma, Patrick Ambut, Johny Tovie Derek, Duke Dick, and Elias Adikwu.
The party said the decision to expel them was part of the resolutions reached at its National Convention held on Tuesday, April 14, at the Rainbow Event Centre, Garki, Abuja.
The statement said: “This decision followed the consideration and adoption of a motion on the discipline of erring members, duly presented and ratified by delegates at the convention under the leadership of His Excellency, Senator David Mark, National Chairman of the party.
“With this action, the affected individuals cease to be members of the African Democratic Congress with immediate effect. Consequently, they are now at liberty to explore other political platforms, and any political party that may wish to receive them is free to do so.”
