ADC: Uproar greets INEC’s axing of Mark, Aregbesola

A major political storm erupted in Nigeria following the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) decision to de-recognize Senator David Mark and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as National Chairman and National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The party condemned this move as a signal of deeper risks for Nigeria's democracy and vowed to proceed with its congresses despite INEC's opposition. Groups such as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Obidient Movement also criticized the action, while INEC justified its decision based on an ongoing Court of Appeal judgment.
