The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced the expulsion of 11 members, including Hon. Leke Abejide, over actions considered to be in violation of the party’s constitution, values, and disciplinary framework.

The decision was reached at the party’s National Convention held on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, at the Rainbow Event Centre, Garki, Abuja.

Those affected by the expulsion include Nafiu Bala Gombe, Kingsley Temitope Ogga, Don Norman Obinna, Kennedy Odion, Clement Ehigiator, Stella Chukwuma, Patrick Ambut, Johny Tovie Derek, Duke Dick, and Elias Adikwu.

According to the party, the expulsion followed the consideration and adoption of a motion on the discipline of erring members, which was presented and ratified by delegates at the convention.

The exercise was conducted under the leadership of the National Chairman of the party, Senator David Mark.

ADC stated that the affected individuals cease to be members of the party with immediate effect, adding that they are free to join any political platform of their choice.

“The Party reiterates its unwavering commitment to discipline, internal democracy, and the rule of law,” the statement read.

It further stressed that the ADC would continue to uphold accountability as it positions itself as a credible and viable alternative for Nigerians.

The development is seen as part of ongoing efforts by the party to strengthen internal cohesion and enforce party discipline ahead of future political engagements.
