A factional leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nafiu Bala, has accused former national chairman Ralph Nwosu of deceiving him into attending a political gathering that later turned into the unveiling of a rival leadership structure led by David Mark.
Speaking during an interview on AIT on Monday, Bala said he was initially informed that the meeting was meant for the admission of new party members, only to later discover it was a formal presentation of a David Mark-led coalition within the party.
“I was told it was an adoption of new members, but Ralph Nwosu tricked me into attending the handover ceremony of the David Mark-led coalition into the ADC,” Bala said.
He added that he also had no prior knowledge of the leadership changes announced at the event, claiming that the gathering marked a major turning point in the party’s internal crisis.
“That was the day Nwosu was announcing his resignation, on the same day he was announcing David Mark and Aregbesola as excos,” he stated.
