Report Of Leadership Change Fake – ADC

Report Of Leadership Change Fake – ADC
  • PublishedApril 5, 2026

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed social media reports claiming a change in its leadership.

ADC spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, in a post on his X handle on Sunday, described the reports as fabricated misinformation and urged Nigerians to disregard the claims.

“Please note that reports circulating about a change in the leadership of the ADC are #FakeNews.

“Please disregard, flag, and report such content on any social media platform where you encounter it,” Abdullahi wrote.

The denial came hours after an online report claimed that Senator David Mark had stepped aside as national chairman amid ongoing leadership disputes and pressure over the party’s structure following recent actions by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

The report further suggested that former party chairman, Ralph Nwosu, would take over to steer the ADC toward its national convention and stabilise the party ahead of future elections.

Recall that INEC on Wednesday removed the names of the ADC National Working Committee led by Mark from its official portal, citing a Court of Appeal order.
