The Federal Capital Territory chapter of the African Democratic Congress has reaffirmed its support for the Senator David Mark-led National Working Committee, distancing itself from recent statements by some state chairmen opposing the leadership.
In a statement signed on Wednesday by the party’s FCT Publicity Secretary, Nwigbo Samuel, the chapter called for unity within the party, urging members to resolve disputes internally rather than through court cases.
“The FCT chapter of ADC stands solidly behind the Senator David Mark-led NWC and calls on others to do the same in the interest of peace and collective progress.
“A house divided against itself, they say, will never stand. We advise that all aggrieved members within the party should, instead of resorting to unnecessary court cases that only create cracks for opposition to sneak in and destabilise, explore all the dispute resolution mechanisms available in the party and seek redress,” the statement read.
The statement also appealed to party leaders to intervene and restore calm.
“Lasting peace and unity are all we pray for to prevail within our party. Let’s activate the spirit of sportsmanship and ensure no one is left behind.
“Surely, ADC will succeed and unseat this devilish government that has brought our country to ruin,” it added.
