The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has officially announced the expulsion of several high-profile members, including Hon. Leke Abejide, following a decisive disciplinary motion ratified during the party’s National Convention on April 14, 2026.
The purge, which took place at the Rainbow Event Centre in Garki, Abuja, signals a rigorous effort by the party leadership to enforce internal discipline and maintain its core values ahead of future political cycles.
A Mandate for Discipline
The decision to expel the members was a primary outcome of the convention, presided over by the National Chairman, His Excellency, Senator David Mark, GCON. According to a statement released by the party, the move followed the formal adoption of a disciplinary motion aimed at addressing conduct deemed inconsistent with the ADC’s constitution.
In a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party emphasized that the affected individuals have ceased to be members of the ADC with immediate effect.
“The Party reiterates its unwavering commitment to discipline, internal democracy, and the rule of law,” stated Bolaji Abdullahi. “The ADC will continue to uphold the highest standards of accountability as it consolidates its position as a credible and viable alternative for Nigerians.”

The expulsion affects several individuals across various cadres of the party. The individuals officially stripped of their membership include:

Freedom to Move On
In a notable addition to the announcement, the ADC clarified that it would not hinder the future political aspirations of the expelled members on other platforms. The leadership noted that the affected individuals are now at liberty to explore other political parties, and any organization wishing to receive them is free to do so.
This clean break strategy appears designed to stabilize the party’s internal environment while refocusing its mission on professionalism and public trust. As the ADC looks to strengthen its structure, the leadership maintains that these reforms are necessary to ensure the party remains a disciplined and principled force in Nigeria’s democratic landscape.
