The leadership crisis in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has deepened as the Nafiu Bala–led faction of the party announced the suspension of 15 prominent members, including the former national chairman, Chief Ralph Nwosu, over alleged anti-party activities.
Other affected by the six months suspension include Balarabe Rufai, Ibrahim Mani, Dr Bamidele Ajadi, Dr Chike Okogwu, Anayo Arinze, Kenneth Gbandi, Said Abdullahi, Ms Hauwa Musa, Nkem Ukandu, Peters Oyewole, Dr Peter Edeh, Prince Festus Igbinoba and Razak Eyiwuawi.
In a statement made available to journalists in Lokoja yesterday, Kogi lawmaker, Leke Abejide, said the decision was taken at the regular meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and conveyed in a statement issued in Abuja.
The factional national chairman, Nafiu Bala, accused the suspended members of engaging in activities capable of undermining the cohesion, stability and orderly administration of the party.
