Melaye Accuses Bala of Conscience Commercialization

Dino Melaye, a former senator representing Kogi West, has publicly accused Nafiu Bala, the factional chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), of commercializing his conscience. Melaye made these remarks during an interview on Arise Television.

The context of his accusation stems from Bala's participation in a national executive committee meeting of the ADC, which took place on July 29, 2025. During this meeting, the leadership of the ADC, including David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola, was endorsed.

Following this endorsement, Bala initiated legal action on September 2, 2025, indicating ongoing tensions within the party regarding leadership and direction.
