ADC Reveals Nafi’u Bala’s Resignation Letter Hours After Declaring Himself National Chairman

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has denied claims from Hon. Nafi’u Bala that he is the party’s new national chairman.

Bala, who had resigned as the party’s Deputy National Chairman in May 2025, declared himself the interim chairman during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday night.

He accused the current leadership, led by David Mark, of an illegal takeover that was “in defiance of the ADC constitution” and amounted to “political hooliganism.”

In response, the ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, strongly rejected Bala’s claims, stating that the party does not recognize his declaration.

Abdullahi reminded the public that Bala had already resigned from his position.

The party supported its stance by releasing a copy of Bala’s resignation letter, dated May 17, 2025.

In the letter, Bala wrote: “I, Nafiu Bala, do hereby write to notify you of my resignation as member of the National Working Committee of our great party, African Democratic Congress, with effect from 26 May, 2025.”

“My resignation is to make way for  smooth and effective coalition and restructuring. My resignation does not mean I am abandoning the party, so I would be ready to serve in any other capacity I may be called upon.

“While I thank you for the opportunity afforded me to serve our great party, please accept the assurances of my highest regards,” the letter signed by Bala stated.

The ADC concluded that the resignation letter clearly shows Bala is no longer part of the party’s leadership and therefore cannot declare himself chairman.
