ADC denies David Mark resignation rumours, calls them fabrications

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially denied reports that its Interim National Chairman, Senator David Mark, has resigned from his position. In a statement released by the National Chairman’s Media Office on April 5, 2026, the party dismissed the claims as "an insidious fabrication" orchestrated by "puerile, weak and inconsiderate propagandists" seeking to destabilize the party ahead of the 2027 elections.

The statement maintains that Mark remains the substantive National Chairman, stressing that there is no plan or discussion regarding his resignation. "The assertion that Senator David Mark has stepped down exists only in the warped imagination of those bent on spreading falsehood and creating confusion within our party," it said. The party emphasized that its leadership remains united and committed to strengthening democratic principles and offering credible leadership to Nigerians.

The ADC warned that efforts to destabilize the party stem from fears over its rising influence and evolving political dynamics. "The ADC, its leadership, and the majority of Nigerians are unbending in their collective determination to resist any plot aimed at undermining Nigeria's multi-party democracy or imposing a one-party system," the statement added. It urged Nigerians to ignore the rumours and remain assured of stability in the party's leadership.

With the 2027 general elections approaching, how should voters evaluate such leadership rumours—as genuine concerns or as tactical attempts to test party cohesion?
