Leke Abejide Exits ADC Amid Internal Crisis and Legal Issues

Leke Abejide, a member of the House of Representatives for Yagba East, Yagba West, and Mopamuro in Kogi State, has officially left the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing internal crises and ongoing legal disputes as primary reasons for his departure. Abejide described the ADC's leadership as uncertain and expressed frustration over attempts to navigate political ambitions within the party.

He indicated that the legal actions initiated in August 2025, involving key party figures like David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola, have delayed progress and complicated the party's structure. Abejide emphasized the necessity of his decision to secure a political future, noting that the ADC has been unable to effectively manage its affairs since being "unlawfully hijacked" nine months ago.

He also mentioned that the party's leadership challenges have deepened the crisis, leading him to seek alternative political platforms to pursue his ambitions.
