Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has released footage from a July 2025 event at Abuja\u2019s Shehu Musa Yar\u2019Adua Centre, showing Nafiu Bala attending the unveiling of David Mark as the party\u2019s interim national chairman.<\/p>\n

The video showed INEC representatives were present at the event, and Bala was seen seated near key figures, including Senator Ishaku Abbo.<\/p>\n

Nafiu Bala is laying claims to the party\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

An alleged resignation letter purportedly written by Bala recently surfaced online.<\/p>\n

In the letter dated May 18, 2025, Bala said he has resigned from his position as Deputy National Chairman (North-East) effective May 26, 2025, stating that the decision was intended to allow for \u201ca smooth and effective coalition and restructuring\u201d within the party.<\/p>\n

The footage also shared by ADC Vanguard, was captioned: \u201cADC releases video where Nafiu Bala was sighted at David Mark leadership unveiling after he tendered his resignation. The @inecnigeria representatives were also present at the event.\u201d<\/p>\n

The footage has sparked reactions on social media, especially as INEC recently delisted both Mark and Rauf Aregbesola to enforce a court order restoring the pre-July 2025 leadership status quo.<\/p>\n

On X, @JADEWORLD wrote, \u201c@inecnigeria With this evidence, it is clear you are no longer a non-partisan body. It is absolutely embarrassing that INEC has been reduced to APC\u2019s agent of confusion and destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n

@slkie wrote, \u201cAll they had to do was take this to the court where Nafiu lodged his suit… but no… Twitter threads upandan.\u201d<\/p>\n
