The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed joy over the resignation of two-term House of Representatives member Leke Abejide. The party’s reaction came after Abejide officially announced his exit from the ADC on Friday.
During a press conference held on the same day, Abejide revealed his decision to step down from the party and also signaled his intention to join what he termed a “mainstream political party” in preparation for the 2027 general elections.
He stated, “I am moving to the mainstream political party,” describing the transition as “a homecoming.”
It is worth noting that Abejide, along with some other members, had recently been expelled from the ADC during the party’s national convention.
In response, the ADC Vanguard, the party’s mobilization platform on X (formerly Twitter), described Abejide’s departure as “the end of a distracting chapter and the beginning of a stronger, cleaner, and more united movement.”
The statement further emphasized, “Every serious political platform must, at some point, separate genuine builders from those who thrive on internal crisis. Abejide’s exit provides the ADC with the necessary space to concentrate on organization, expansion, grassroots mobilization, and the broader national task ahead.”
