Leke Abejide, a member of the House of Representatives representing Yagba federal constituency in Kogi, has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, Abejide alleged that the ADC has been "hijacked" by individuals with ill intentions. He said he nurtured and funded the ADC from when it was unpopular, but has now moved on due to leadership instability and court delays.
Key Points:
- Abejide said he instituted a case against the David Mark-led leadership in August 2025.
- He claimed opposing counsel's tactics frustrated the speedy hearing of his suit.
- He said the ADC is "leaderless" without a validly elected national chairman.
- He denied a viral video suggesting he was told to "scatter" the party.
- He has since moved on to pursue his political ambition elsewhere.
Abejide said he voluntarily exited the ADC by constitutional means.
