The National Leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has reassured members and the general public of its commitment to restoring the integrity and glory of the party, which it said had been infiltrated by individuals described as “political vagabonds and refugees.”
In a statement issued by the Acting National Chairman of the ADC, Hon. Nafiu Bala, the party leadership condemned the activities of persons allegedly parading themselves as members and leaders of the ADC without proper registration or recognition.
According to Hon. Bala, the infiltration of such individuals into the party brought along negative traits that disrupted the once peaceful structure of the ADC.
Bala said: “The National Leadership of the African Democratic Congress the general public, particularly the faithful members of our esteemed party, ADC, to note that the bonafide leaders of this great party is working assiduously leaving no stone unturned in restoring the glory of the party hitherto infiltrated by political vagabonds, Who sneaked into the party through the back door.
“The infiltration of these political refugees into our great party infested the party those notorious characteristics they are known with, to wit, Causing confusion amongst party members as witnessed in the burning of party offices in Ekiti State and Kaduna State.”
He noted that these elements have a history of imposing leadership arbitrarily, thereby causing unrest and disunity wherever they operate.
He added, “ADC Leadership wishes to make it clear that these elements who parambulate as party members without registration to forthwith desist from tempering with the hitherto peaceful ADC structure. ADC is not a refugee camp where political vagabonds sneak in without protocols.
“The Leadership wishes to inform these Calibre of people to desist from calling kangaroo congresses in the name of the party having not yet been recognized as bofide party members to avoid attracting legal action against them.”
