Leke Abejide Resigns from ADC, Cites Leadership Crisis

Leke Abejide, a member of the House of Representatives from Kogi State, announced his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) during a press conference in Abuja. He accused the party of being hijacked by an opposition coalition, prompting his decision to challenge the situation in court.

Abejide, who has been elected twice on the ADC platform, expressed his commitment to saving the political future of the party, which he believes has been undermined. He did not disclose his next political move but indicated that it would be made public soon.

The ADC is currently facing a leadership crisis, with the Supreme Court recently affirming David Mark's leadership. Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President and a prominent figure in the ADC, welcomed the Supreme Court's ruling, urging party members to remain vigilant and focused on the upcoming 2027 general elections.

The situation highlights the ongoing struggles within the ADC and the implications for its future.
