Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Wednesday said the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Chairman, Yakubu stood on the right side of history.<\/p>\n

Abdullahi commended Yakubu and ADC members following INEC\u2019s acknowledgement of the New leadership of the party.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, INEC approved the new executives of ADC.<\/p>\n

The electoral umpire on its official website confirmed David Mark as the party\u2019s National Chairman, Rauf Aregbesola as National Secretary.<\/p>\n

Mani, Ibrahim Ahmad is the National Treasurer of the party while Akibu Dalhatu serves as the<\/p>\n

National Financial Secretary.<\/p>\n

Also, the electoral umpire approved Oserheimen Aigberaodion Osunbor as the new National Legal Adviser of the ADC.<\/p>\n

The new executives took over the leadership of the ADC after the opposition coalition adopted the party, a few months ago.<\/p>\n

But a faction of the party had resisted the move, claiming that they are the original owners.<\/p>\n

However, Abdullahi posted on X: \u201cWe congratulate ADC members and all lovers of democracy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe commend @INECNigeria and its Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, for standing on the right side of history and for standing up for the cause of multi-party democracy. Arise and shine, Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
