A member of the House of Representatives representing Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi State, Leke Abejide, has resigned from the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Abejide’s was expelled from the party by the David Mark-led faction during the April 14, 2026 national convention.
The lawmaker announced his resignation at a press conference in Abuja on Friday.
“I joined ADC, nurtured it to national recognition as a political party with representation in both national and state assemblies.
“The party structure was funded by me as the then national leader of the party, which I have willingly relinquished to the current national chairman, Honourable Nafiu Bala Gombe, and I wish him good luck as he continues to fight for his rights in court.
“I have decided to change the broken bricks in the ADC and become a cornerstone in a better political party with a strong structure that will benefit my people,” Abejide said.
The lawmaker’s announcement comes after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) reinstated David Mark as ADC national chairman following a Supreme Court ruling on the leadership crisis rocking the party.
Abejide stated that amid the crisis in the ADC, his lawyers advised him to leave the party to safeguard his political future, adding that he has since complied.
He declined to disclose his next political destination, saying it would be made public soon.
“You will know any moment from now where I am heading to. Maybe by the time I obtain my form, it will be clear to you,” the lawmaker said.
