The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the expulsion of several members, including Hon. Leke Abejide and Nafiu Bala Gombe, over alleged violations of the party’s constitution and disciplinary code.
The decision was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, following resolutions reached at the party’s National Convention held on April 14, 2026, in Abuja.
According to the statement, the expulsions were approved after deliberations by delegates at the convention, which was presided over by the party’s National Chairman, David Mark.
“The African Democratic Congress (ADC) wishes to inform the public that, pursuant to resolutions reached at its National Convention held on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at the Rainbow Event Centre, Garki, Abuja, the Party has approved the expulsion of certain individuals for acts deemed inconsistent with its constitution, values, and disciplinary framework,” the statement read.
Those affected include Leke Abejide, Nafiu Bala Gombe, Kingsley Temitope Ogga, Don Norman Obinna, Kennedy Odion, Clement Ehigiator, Stella Chukwuma, Patrick Ambut, Johny Tovie Derek, Duke Dick, and Elias Adikwu.
The party said the decision followed “the consideration and adoption of a motion on the discipline of erring members, duly presented and ratified by delegates at the Convention.”
It added that the expelled individuals “cease to be members of the African Democratic Congress with immediate effect,” noting that they are now free to join other political parties.
“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,” the statement added.
The ADC reaffirmed its commitment to internal discipline and democratic principles, stating that it “will continue to uphold the highest standards of accountability” as it positions itself as a viable political alternative.
