Kogi Lawmaker Leke Abejide Resigns from ADC

Leke Abejide, representing Yagba East, Yagba West, and Mopamuro Federal Constituency in Kogi State, announced his resignation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Friday while addressing journalists in Abuja. He cited prolonged internal crises, legal disputes, and leadership uncertainties within the party as reasons for his departure.

Abejide indicated that he would likely join the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the coming week, describing his exit as a difficult yet necessary decision to safeguard his political future. He mentioned that the ADC has been embroiled in a lawsuit since August 2025 concerning leadership issues, which has hindered its operations.

Abejide expressed concerns about the party's lack of a duly recognized national office and the implications of being leaderless. He also referenced a viral video involving Femi Gbajabiamila, suggesting it encouraged destabilization within the ADC.

Abejide's decision follows legal advice received regarding the ADC's internal challenges and the need to pursue a viable political platform.
