The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has validated the change in the national leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), confirming former Senate President, David Mark, as the national chairman of the coalition opposition party.
The other members of the party’s national officers, according to the official website of the Commission, include former Osun State governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Mani Ibrahim Ahmad, and Akibu Dalhatu as the national secretary, national treasurer, and national financial secretary, respectively.
The Commission also disclosed that the non-submission of Mark and Aregbesola’s specimen signatures was what was holding up their recognition, noting that former ADC National Chairman, Ralph Nwosu, was still communicating with it in official correspondence after the party had notified it that there was a change of leadership.
However, perhaps bowing to pressure, the electoral umpire on Wednesday, September 10, reflected the change in the leadership of the coalition opposition party on its official website.
