Hon. Francis Barthlomew Chima, aka OmoBarca, Resigns from ADC Over Leadership Crisis
Hon. Francis Barthlomew Chima, popularly known as OmoBarca, has officially resigned his membership from the African Democratic Congress on May 4, 2026, citing unresolved legal battles and internal leadership crises rocking the party.

In a resignation letter addressed to the Ward Chairman of the ADC in Ward 09, Alaba Oro, Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area of Lagos State, the grassroots politician announced his immediate withdrawal from the party.

The letter, dated May 4, 2026, was also copied to the Local Government Chairman and the Lagos State leadership of the party.

According to Hon. Chima, the lingering legal disputes at the national level of the ADC have created uncertainty and weakened confidence among party faithful and supporters. He stated that the internal crisis has made it difficult for committed members to effectively mobilize and operate within the party structure.

He noted that every serious politician requires a stable and conducive political platform to serve the people effectively and maintain the confidence of the electorate. However, he explained that the atmosphere within the ADC in Ajeromi Ifelodun LGA no longer provides such an environment.

The resignation comes amid a series of reported leadership disputes and legal controversies within the ADC nationwide. Recent reports indicated disagreements over party leadership, recognition by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and court cases surrounding the party’s national structure.

The ADC has in recent weeks been involved in public disagreements over its leadership transition and legal tussles with INEC concerning the recognition of party executives.

Hon. Chima, who thanked the party for the opportunity to serve and contribute during his time as a member, also appreciated the relationships and experiences he gained while in the ADC.

He further assured supporters that his next political move would be communicated to the public at the appropriate time.

Political observers in Ajeromi Ifelodun believe the resignation of OmoBarca may generate fresh conversations within the local political landscape, especially ahead of the build-up to the 2027 general elections.
The development adds to the growing list of politicians distancing themselves from the ADC amid the party’s ongoing internal challenges.

There will be a busy week via defection from ADC

These ones wan use Peter Obi shine enter office 😀😀😀

Where’s he headed now ? APC LP or NDc ?

It has started!
NDC we are coming!

Keep it coming

let the resignation begin

Chaiii. These people holds no standard

NDC is the destination

We can't wait to have you in our midst, Omo Barca.

I thought they threw a party just last week, that the Supreme Court has given Mark the party to run?

Why are they all now jumping out of the window? Was the Supreme Court judgment no longer a 'victoria' for 'demokrasi'?

He's one of Peter Obi disciples, he's going to NDC.

one by one .. OBI is wasting his time jumping up/down

Omo lots are happening now with all these political transfer market... Adc, ndc, apm, prp, etc


With division of adc, I think tinubu will win easily

Hahahahaha Lagos, better wake up. If you keep stretching “liberal” and “accommodating” to the point where anything goes, don’t be surprised when the very things you hold sacred your customs, your traditions, your identity start fading away.

Being open-minded doesn’t mean having no boundaries. Every society that ignored that balance eventually watched its core values get diluted. This isn’t new it’s a pattern we’ve seen play out in other places again and again.

Respect others, yes but don’t lose yourself in the process.

Peter obi is a hurricane ..
PO is our party..
Anywhere he goes we go..
We are obidients

How can some people be this confused. So you moved to ADC not on your own but because of others which your defection is less than 2 months.

Someone who can't think for himself, imagine such person in the position of power

Adc is dead and buried. Atiku just exists to cause problems for Nigeria

Peter Obi 2027.

Tinubu is a serial failure.
He said if he doesn't achieve his goal he won't contest but just look how drunk he is for power even in a geriatric age

Better dont so anything funny with inec. We won't tolerate rubbish this time
It's time for Nigeria to take their country back since 1960

Online noise makers. Just constituting nuisance on all social media. Many of them don't even have pvc oo Just fighting everyone.

The simple solution is BIAFRA, so you can have LAGOS and everything to yourself. Atleast you can do xenophobia to other tribes in Lagos when you get Oduduwa abi?

Work for Oduduwa Republic and let IGBOs work for BIAFRA.

Unity begging with those you hate is not smart.

Simple.

SultanYoung:
Hahahahaha Lagos wake up if una continue dey dey libral all in the name of being civilized and accommodating you will experience a bastardazation of whatever you hold sacred from your custom to tradition and vice versa I have seen this template being played in other country

Peter obi the nightmare of the ogre from iragbiji
