The Chairman of Action Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kogi State, John Adaji, has vehemently denied recent media reports suggesting his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Addressing a crowd of supporters during a campaign rally in Okehi and Adavi Local Government, Adaji labeled the report as fake and urged the public to disregard it.
Adaji took a strong stance on his party’s unity and structure, emphasizing that the ADC had not collapsed its organization in favor of another political party.
He asserted, “I stand here before you live and direct, that I am the authentic Chairman of the ADC in Kogi State. There can’t be two captains in one ship, and here I am with you and with our governorship candidate, Elder Leke Abejide. I also assure that the ADC structure is intact.”
Adaji revealed that an expelled member of the party was behind the rumors of his defection. This individual had previously been suspended by the ADC executives due to anti-party activities and misappropriation of funds. The suspension was ratified at the ward, local government, and state levels, ultimately leading to the member’s expulsion from the party in October of the previous year.
