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. “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. The FCT chapter’s endorsement comes amid ongoing turmoil within ADC, which has seen rival factions contesting control of the party. The development follows a large demonstration in Abuja on Wednesday, where leaders and members of ADC protested against INEC decisions perceived to undermine democracy and the party’s internal leadership. The FCT chapter emphasised that all members should prioritise the collective interest of Nigerians and work towards strengthening the party ahead of the general elections.
