The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially disowned party member Nafiu Bala after he publicly criticized the leadership of former Senate President David Mark. In a statement released by the party, ADC emphasized that Bala’s remarks do not reflect the party’s position and reiterated its commitment to internal discipline and respect for established leadership structures.
Party officials described Bala’s comments as “unwarranted and divisive,” warning that any action undermining unity or targeting respected figures within or outside the party would not be tolerated. They stressed that maintaining cohesion and mutual respect among members is essential for the party’s growth and credibility, particularly as it seeks to expand its influence ahead of upcoming elections.
Political analysts note that the incident underscores tensions within the ADC as smaller parties navigate internal disagreements while trying to build a credible national profile. The party’s swift disavowal of Bala’s statement is seen as an effort to protect its image and reassure supporters that personal disagreements will not overshadow the party’s broader objectives.
Bala, who has not retracted his comments, is reportedly facing possible sanctions, including suspension or expulsion, as party leaders deliberate on appropriate disciplinary measures. Observers believe that how ADC handles the situation could set a precedent for managing dissent and ensuring accountability among its ranks.
