ADC Leadership Crisis: Senator Abbo Alleges Betrayal by Coalition Over Bala’s Position

Ishaku Abbo, senator representing Adamawa North, says the African Democratic Congress (ADC) crisis stems from internal betrayal and external meddling. He explains that after factions led by David Mark and Nafiu Bala agreed on zonal power-sharing, the new leadership reneged on a promised vice-chairman role for the North-East. Abbo recalls that INEC later refused to recognise both Mark and Bala’s factions based on a Court of Appeal judgment. He claims Bala walked away from a substitute offer and then mounted legal challenges, allegedly backed by a serving governor and a former minister, to destabilise the party. The senator urges Bala to drop his lawsuit and calls on INEC to reconsider its stance. He warns that unresolved disputes could have far-reaching effects on the party’s unity and national influence.
