The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports alleging that the party’s National Chairman, David Mark, has stepped down from his position.
The Media Office of the ADC National Chairman made this known via a statement issued on Sunday, April 5, 2026.
The party described the claim as “an insidious fabrication” orchestrated by individuals it described as “puerile, weak, and inconsiderate propagandists.”
The party affirmed that Mark, a former Senate President, remains the substantive National Chairman of the ADC, stressing that there is no contemplation whatsoever of his resignation either by him or the leadership of the ADC.
“The assertion that Mark has stepped down exists only in the warped imagination of those bent on spreading falsehood and creating confusion within our party,” the party said.

The party emphasised that the ADC leadership remains united, focused, and resolute in its mission to strengthen democratic values and provide credible leadership to Nigerians.
It warned against attempts to destabilise the party, noting that such efforts are driven by fear of the ADC’s growing influence and the emerging political permutations ahead of the 2027 general election.
“The ADC, its leadership, and the majority of Nigerians are unbending in their collective determination to resist any plot aimed at undermining Nigeria’s multi-party democracy or imposing a one-party system,” it said.
Reaffirming its commitment to democratic ideals, the party called on Nigerians to disregard the rumours and remain confident in the leadership and stability of the ADC.
