INEC’s Recognition Of Mark-Led Exco Vindication For Rule Of Law —ADC Chieftain
A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chille Igbawua, has described the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s recognition of David Mark’s leadership as a “vindication for the rule of law.”
He said this during an interview on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief programme.
“It is a vindication for the law, a vindication for the rule of law. Of course, INEC has done what the law requires it to do.
“It’s a great milestone because, even though we knew internally it was just a procedural matter, other camps tried to make political capital out of it as if it were something serious.
“The ADC has met INEC’s requirements, and INEC has now put its stamp of recognition on the National Working Committee and NEC as constituted in the last meeting,” Igbawua said.
He argued that the decision stabilises the opposition and might not please President Bola Tinubu.
“We are happy INEC chose legality over impunity in this matter,” he added.
Asked about the fate of party founder Ralph Nwosu, Igbawua said Nwosu had accepted being an ordinary member.
According to him, the ADC founder supported the rebranding of the party and remained satisfied with its growth.
On Wednesday, INEC officially recognised the leadership of the ADC led by David Mark.
It displayed the confirmation on its website after the party’s internal restructuring and appointment of new national officers.
