He added that their expulsion was pursuant to resolutions reached at the party’s National Convention held on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at the Rainbow Event Centre, Garki, Abuja.
The statement reads, “This decision followed the consideration and adoption of a motion on the discipline of erring members, duly presented and ratified by delegates at the Convention under the leadership of His Excellency, Senator David Mark, GCON, National Chairman of the Party.
“With this action, the affected individuals cease to be members of the African Democratic Congress with immediate effect.
“Consequently, they are now at liberty to explore other political platforms, and any political party that may wish to receive them is free to do so.
“The party reiterates its unwavering commitment to discipline, internal democracy, and the rule of law. The ADC will continue to uphold the highest standards of accountability as it consolidates its position as a credible and viable alternative for Nigerians.”
