ADC SLAMS DOOR ON PETER OBI’S DEFCTION: “NO SHORTCUTS ALLOWED”
GREATRIBUNETVNEWS–Nafiu Bala Gombe’s faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has disowned Peter Obi’s defection and registration in Enugu.
KEY ISSUES:
– Invalid Registration : ADC says Peter Obi’s registration at Enugu zonal office contravenes party’s constitution and procedures.
– Proper Registration Process : Membership registration must be done at Ward level, with documentation and issuance of membership card.
– No Shortcuts : ADC’s constitution doesn’t allow registration at Zonal or National offices outside designated wards.
– Inclusiveness with Rules : Party is open to all Nigerians, but within framework of ADC’s laws and regulations.
QUOTES:
– “The party distanced itself from reports claiming that a certain Mr. Peter Obi was registered at the party’s zonal office in Enugu.” – Nafiu Bala Gombe, ADC Faction Leader
– “The ADC is a party built on the principles of order, discipline, and strict adherence to its constitution.” – Nafiu Bala Gombe, ADC Faction Leader
– “The process of registering with the ADC is clearly outlined… Ward Registration: Prospective members must register at their respective Ward levels within their state of origin or residence.” – Nafiu Bala Gombe, ADC Faction Leader
– “Any registration carried out contrary to this provision is considered irregular and invalid.” – Nafiu Bala Gombe, ADC Faction Leader
He added:“Therefore, the Office of the National Chairman distances the original, constitutionally-governed ADC from the reported registration of Mr. Peter Obi at the Enugu Zonal office. The party is investigating this breach of due process.“
The ADC leadership further urged prospective members, party supporters, and the general public to ignore any claims suggesting alternative channels for party registration, reiterating that ward-level registration remains the only valid and recognised method
