David Mark still ADC chairman – Party dismisses resignation rumours

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports suggesting that David Mark, its national chairman has resigned from his position, describing the claims as false and misleading.

In a statement issued by the chairman’s media office, the party said the reports were fabricated by individuals intent on creating confusion within its ranks.

The statement categorically affirmed that Senator Mark remains the substantive national chairman of the party, stressing that there is no contemplation whatsoever of his resignation either by him or the leadership of the ADC.

“The assertion that Senator David Mark has stepped down exists only in the warped imagination of those bent on spreading falsehood and creating confusion within our party,” the statement read.

The party further emphasized that the ADC leadership remains united, focused, and resolute in its mission to strengthen democratic values and provide credible leadership to Nigerians.

It also warned against attempts to destabilize the party, noting that such efforts are driven by fear of the ADC’s growing influence and the emerging political permutations ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“The ADC, its leadership, and the majority of Nigerians are unbending in their collective determination to resist any plot aimed at undermining Nigeria’s multi-party democracy or imposing a one-party system,” the statement added.

Reaffirming its commitment to democratic ideals, the party called on Nigerians to disregard the rumours and remain confident in the leadership and stability of the ADC.
