Rabiu Kwankwaso, who ran for president in the past, called the National Convention of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) a “historic” event and a new step toward saving Nigeria.
Kwankwaso said in a post on his 𝕏 account on Wednesday that the convention that took place in Abuja on Tuesday proves that the ADC’s spirit cannot be broken.
The former Governor of Kano State, who was happy to be at the convention, said that the ADC is ready to run for office and win the next elections.
He also thanked David Mark for being a leader.
He said, “I was happy to be with other party leaders and members at the historic ADC National Convention in Abuja.
“The convention brought our great party together in one voice and unbreakable spirit—a firm promise to stay strong in our fight for a better, stronger Nigeria.
“I want to congratulate the National Working Committee, led by David Mark, on successfully renewing their mandate. With this new confidence, I know that our party will win big in the days to come.
As we said before, the ADC said on Tuesday that Nafiu Bala-Gombe, the former Deputy National Chairman, and Leke Abejide, a member of the House of Representatives, were no longer members of the party.
They were kicked out for supposedly doing things that were bad for the party.
The faction led by former Senate President David Mark made the announcement at the party’s national convention in Abuja.
More than 3,000 delegates and political stakeholders attended the convention at the Rainbow Events Centre. This was part of the party’s preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The ADC, led by David Mark, also kicked Kenneth Ehiator, Stella Chukwu, and Elias Adiukwu out of the party.
Senator Binos Yaroe, who represents Adamawa South, made the motion to kick them out at the convention, and delegates quickly seconded and passed it.
