Naija News<\/strong> reports that Bala, who spoke to journalists in Bauchi, dismissed insinuations that he had discussed the party’s presidential candidate with Atiku.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cIt is not true and I don\u2019t know where it is coming from. Atiku Abubakar is not a member of the ADC, why should I have discussions with him about ADC? As the Ag National Chairman of the ADC, I will not go and discuss with anyone about the ADC.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAtiku Abubakar is a stakeholder and member of the PDP. I am not aware that he is in the ADC. ADC is a united party, we are together, all those who did not resign are in the office working, we just conducted elections in Bauchi State in the North East zone.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Bala also declared that he has officially assumed leadership of the ADC in line with the party\u2019s constitution, following the resignation of the party’s founder, Ralph Okey Nwosu and would resist attempts by infiltrators to hijack the party ahead of the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n According to the embattled former Deputy National Chairman, elements from the PDP, APC, LP, and APGA have infiltrated the ADC and were bent on destabilising it.<\/p>\n He alleged that some individuals who were never members of the ADC are parading themselves as leaders after being handpicked by Nwosu, describing the action as unconstitutional.<\/p>\n Bala urged those claiming leadership to return to their wards, register properly, and renounce their membership in other political parties before seeking to participate in ADC affairs.<\/p>\n He added, \u201cAs it is now, I am the authentic Ag National Chairman of the ADC, and I have since resumed the office. I am in control of the party structure at all levels in accordance with the constitution of the party.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n On his alleged expulsion from the ADC in Gombe State, Bala dismissed it as false, saying he had been recently welcomed by stakeholders in his ward who reaffirmed him as a bonafide member.<\/p>\n The post Why Should I Have Discussion With Atiku?
