Attached is the Punch publication of July 1st, 2025 announcing the appointment of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola respectively as National Chairman and Secretary.

Also attached is a letter signed by Ralph Nwosu and Baba Abdullahi informing INEC of the resignation of Hon. Bala Gombe.

So, in what capacity did Ralph Nwosu and Baba Abdullahi wrote the letter on 21st July, 2025 when David Mark and Rauf were appointed as National Chairman and Secretary on 1st July, 2025?

It should now be obvious to all unbiased minds that the resignation letter was a forgery.


Omooba77, can you please come and provide answer to the question raised here. I opened this thread specifically because of the fraudulent letter that was the basis of your thread that is now on front page. In what capacity did Ralph Nwosu wrote that letter on 21st July when he resigned and handed over to David Mark on 1st July, 2025?

Atiku's faction will lose at the court. Atiku and his fellow criminals in the ADC won't partake in the 2027 general election

This meeting was a clandestine one at a person's house where it was agreed who will get what. It was not an official meeting or NEC meeting

Bala's resignation was May 17 to take effect from May 26.

The zombie up there is not worried about the uselessness of the party and government he is defending. It is the throwback to a fraud the govt he subscribed is ocastrating that is his obsession

Seunmsg, descipate this energy towards explaining why Tinubu should seek reelection having failed woefully and spectacularly

These are a group of people who claim they want to rescue Nigeria, thye cannot even do simple due diligence. Now it looks like they were all scammed.

You want to hijack a party, at least carry everybody along and ensure you know what assets and liabilities you want to inherit, or is it Tinubu that should also come and do that for them?

Atiku takes most of the blame for most of this because he was in a hurry to be in control of the party. Even if the others are dull but what of El Rufai, I expected more from him.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe, has said that Okey Ralph Nwosu, former National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, is the luckiest man in the party.

DAILY POST reports that a coalition of opposition figures in the country has adopted the party as its platform to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Nwosu, a founding member and long-serving national chairman of the party, had, alongside other party executives, stepped down for former Senate President David Mark and other coalition members as they assumed leadership of the party.

Reacting, Igbokwe, in a post on his official Facebook page, insinuated that Nwosu had been persuaded to step down for the interim leaders. His post reads:

“The luckiest man in this ADC Coalition is Chief Okey Nwosu. He has struggled with this party for many years now. “Okey Nwannem collect as much as you can. It is your time. You laboured for it. But the small bird will not fly. Cash out bro.”

David mark, rauf, bolaji Abdullahi and other hijackers appointed themselves in a party they are not officially a member

Bala's resignation was May 17 to take effect from May 26.

A former Senate President, Senator David Mark, and ex-Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, have been appointed as the interim Chairman and Secretary, respectively, of the African Democratic Congress, the coalition platform being positioned against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.

According to multiple reliable sources who were present at the just-concluded meeting on Tuesday night in Abuja but requested anonymity as they were not authorized to speak, leaders of the opposition coalition unanimously agreed on Mark and Aregbesola for the roles.

The sources further disclosed that a former Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, has been appointed as the interim National Publicity Secretary.

The sources further disclosed that the ADC and its newly constituted leadership will be formally unveiled in Abuja tomorrow.

President Tinubu’s administration has seen a mix of achievements and setbacks across several sectors.

Despite this, opposition leaders from multiple parties have consistently criticized the All Progressives Congress-led government, branding it a failure.

Interestingly, the major opposition parties including the PDP, Labour Party, New Nigeria Peoples Party, and Social Democratic Party have also been grappling with internal crises.

In a bid to present a formidable front ahead of the 2027 elections, ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, a former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Ameachi, a former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, and other political figures came together to launch a new coalition during a meeting in Abuja on March 20.

The move ignited a nationwide conversation about the potential impact of a united opposition, with mixed reactions from political analysts and the general public.

After months of speculation over which platform the coalition would adopt, The PUNCH exclusively reported on May 19 that the group had settled on the ADC as its political vehicle.

Subsequent reports by Sunday PUNCH confirmed that Senator Mark has been selected as the coalition’s interim chairman under the ADC platform, with a formal unveiling slated for Wednesday.

One of the sources said Aregbesola who earlier rejected the offer changed his mind and accepted it after he was prevailed upon by the stakeholders.

He stated, “We just concluded a meeting tonight. Mark and Aregbesola have been appointed as the ADC Interim National Chairman and National Secretary.

“This will be officially unveiled tomorrow (Wednesday), so we are on track.”

Another source added, “Atiku and other coalition leaders met tonight and resolved to adopt the ADC as their platform after months of consultations.

“For now, the ADC National Chairman, Ralph Nwosu, has stepped aside to allow Mark and Aregbesola take over as interim Chairman and Secretary.

“You know Aregbesola rejected it some time ago, but he was prevailed upon by stakeholders, so he has accepted to serve in that capacity. All of this, and more, will be made public tomorrow. Former Minister of Sport, Bolaji will serve as National Publicity Secretary.”

Confirming the development, Kola Ologbondiyan, a former aide to the ex-Senate President and former PDP National Publicity Secretary, announced in a tweet via his verified X account that the ADC has been adopted.

He stated, “African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been adopted as the political party for the coalition. The party has elected Sen. David Mark as the Interim National chairman and Ogbeni Raud Aregbesola as the interim National Secraetary.”

Bala's resignation was May 17 to take effect from May 26.

The meeting as reported by The Punch newspaper that you now classified as clandestine was held on Tuesday 1st July 2025. On Wednesday 2nd July 2025, Ralph Nwosu held a world press conference and announced his resignation as ADC chairman. At that same event, he announced the immediate appointment of David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola and Bolaji Abdullahi as Chairman, Secretary and publicity Secretary respectively.

So, what’s your point of argument again? David Mark took over effectively on 2nd July 2025 after Ralph Nwosu had resigned. Again I ask, on what basis did Nwosu wrote the letter to INEC on 21st July about the resignation of Bala Gombe?

The NEC meeting that produced David Mark was on July 29, 2025.

Bala announced himself Chairman, July 30. What was he doing since July 2. INEC was present on July 29.
