In a surprising turn of events, Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe has formally withdrawn all pending court cases linked to the leadership dispute within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), insiders reveal. Sources close to the party say the move signals a deliberate pivot from prolonged legal battles to strategic political reconciliation.


According to close sources, Gombe is now pushing for active participation in the party’s leadership, specifically seeking the position of Treasurer and advocating for the inclusion of a Vice Presidential candidate in future party arrangements. Party insiders suggest this is part of a broader effort to strengthen internal democracy and ensure balanced representation across the party’s leadership.
“This is a decisive step toward unity. Gombe wants to contribute constructively while ensuring the party remains competitive and cohesive,” a source familiar with the discussions told reporters.


Gombe has reportedly called for a high-level roundtable discussion involving party executives, youth and elder representatives, and other stakeholders. The aim, sources say, is to address internal grievances, rebuild trust, and develop a shared vision for ADC’s future, particularly as the party prepares for upcoming national political engagements.
“The focus now is on dialogue, not litigation,” said one insider. “Gombe’s withdrawal of court cases clears the path for genuine negotiation and strategic planning.”


The ADC had been embroiled in a leadership conflict between Gombe and factions loyal to Senator David Mark, which previously drew the attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the courts. INEC had maintained a neutral stance, freezing all party activities related to the dispute pending a final judicial resolution.

By stepping back from the courts, Gombe has effectively de-escalated tensions and created space for a political solution, sources close to the party leadership confirm.
Implications for the Party
Political analysts note that Gombe’s move could:
Reduce legal distractions for the party
Open avenues for inclusive leadership reform
Position ADC more strategically for the 2027 elections
“This is not just a withdrawal; it’s a political recalibration,” a senior party official remarked. “By demanding the Treasurer role and VP inclusion, Gombe is signaling he wants influence without division.”


With court cases withdrawn and dialogue prioritized, the ADC appears to be entering a new phase of internal cohesion, aiming to reconcile factions and present a stronger, united front on the national stage.
Party watchers say the coming roundtable meetings could set the tone for a more inclusive and strategic leadership structure, potentially reshaping the party’s fortunes ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He's a mad man, ADC people are not serious otherwise,.......

ADC doesn't have the right people working for it. I miss Tinubu opposition days. He would have mobilised Nigerians to declare 12 noon a Bala day where all Nigerians all over the world will prostrate for him by 12 noon on a specific day.
He will be held responsible for any bad governance henceforth in Nigeria

From the post. Rauf and Mark were to serve as secretary and national chairmen, while remains the deputy national chairman. Is he still the deputy national chairman?

I know Gombe is a liar
He is a mole
The same way Apapa and wike are being used by bat to distabilise opposition parties

Thank you, while the job is hard and thankless and I wouldn't do it for all the silver in the world, the Mods need to be proactive.

An Obidient will pull something out from their buttocks and post it here, other Obidients will run with it and boom, we have fiction masquerading as fact and Mods not catching it in time, poor show all round

He acknowledged David Mark as the chairman but why is he dragging chairmanship of the party now with him?

The mad man go don receive enough threats

But in the post shown here, recognized himself as the deputy national chairman and you people said he has resigned. Is that not a contraction?
The travail is not over

Did they accept him as the deputy chairman is the question we should be asking,sir.
