Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The faction of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, led by Nafiu Bala Gombe, has asked the newly recognised leadership of the party to obey the September 4 ruling of the Federal High Court which restrained former Senate President, David Mark, former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, and others from parading themselves as national executive members of the party.<\/p>\n

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Wednesday, recognized David Mark as the National Chairman and Rauf Aregbesola\u2019s as the national secretary of the party, amongst others.<\/p>\n

The party assured that membership registration would soon be made seamless and accessible nationwide, with membership cards and registers distributed across all states.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether, we can build a brighter future for our nation. We urge the coalition group to support the legitimate leadership of Hon. Nafiu Bala as the National Chairman of ADC. By putting aside our differences and working towards a common goal, we believe that together, we can achieve great things and take our party to new heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working diligently to ensure that membership registration is seamless and accessible to all. Our team is dedicated to distributing membership cards and registers to every corner of our beloved country. We kindly request your patience as we finalize the logistics to ensure a smooth and efficient process.<\/p>\n
