ADC expels Nafiu Bala, others for alleged anti-party activities
The African Democratic Congress has expelled Nafiu Bala and others from the party, citing alleged anti-party activities. Their expulsion was announced at the party’s eighth national convention held on Tuesday in Abuja.
A motion to expel them was moved and seconded during the convention.
The report of the party’s disciplinary committee, as read at the convention, stated, “Mr Nafiu Bala, Odion Kennedy, Mrs Stella Chukwuma, Johnny, Derek, and Elias have been given time to retrace their actions but have failed to do so.
“Consequently, the convention is respectfully invited to expel the above-named persons for anti-party activities.
“Pursuant to Article 92 of the constitution of the party, which provides that the national convention shall have the power to suspend or expel any member of the party, exercise control, and take disciplinary action on all individuals, organs, officers, and members of the party.”
The party has been embroiled in a leadership crisis, as two factions claim the ADC leadership.
Mr Bala had filed a suit seeking to stop the David Mark-led ADC from parading itself as the party’s leadership.
