The African Democratic Congress (ADC) party in Nigeria is embroiled in a deepening crisis, with factions accusing rivals of being 'bought over' and alleging political persecution amid disputes with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Warnings have been issued to party members regarding the ongoing leadership struggle.

Nafiu Bala, the factional chairman of the ADC, has disowned a resignation letter, claiming his signature was forged, in response to the Independent National Electoral Commission's resolution on the party's leadership crisis.

The Gombe ADC Youth Network has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Nafiu Bala, demanding his resignation amidst accusations of internal party sabotage and a deepening leadership crisis.

Governor Wike has asserted that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should have recognized Nafiu Bala amidst the ongoing crisis within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) party.
