A Unanimous Declaration of Party Unity

The Kogi State wing of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has taken a decisive stand to fortify its internal structure by formally backing the leadership of National Chairman Senator David Mark. In a stakeholders' meeting characterized by a rare show of regional solidarity, members expressed their full support for the Chairman’s ongoing efforts to reposition the party. This collective endorsement is intended to signal to the national political landscape that the Kogi chapter remains a cohesive unit. By passing a formal vote of confidence, the state leadership aims to insulate the party from the perception of fragmentation that often precedes major election cycles.

Dismissing Rumors of Judicial Interference

A central objective of the gathering was to address and clarify persistent reports regarding alleged court actions against Senator Mark and the National Executive Council. The Kogi ADC explicitly stated that no such litigation has been instituted by its members, effectively distancing the chapter from any efforts to destabilize the party through the judiciary. Leaders emphasized that these reports do not reflect the internal reality of the ADC at either the state or national levels. By debunking these claims, the party is attempting to clear its path of legal distractions, allowing its executive body to focus entirely on administrative and electoral preparation.

Prominent Figures Lead the Confidence Motion

The meeting featured several heavyweight figures from across Kogi’s three senatorial districts, underscoring the broad geographic reach of the endorsement. Former Senator Dino Melaye moved the motion for the vote of confidence, which was subsequently seconded by Engr. Dr. Samuel Uhotu of Kogi Central. The presence of other influential leaders, including former Deputy Governor Simon Achuba and National Vice Chairman Senator Tunde Ogbeha, provided additional weight to the resolution. This alignment of veteran politicians suggests a unified strategy to maintain the ADC’s relevance as a credible alternative to the dominant ruling and opposition parties.
