The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has rejoiced over the exit of a two-term member of the House of Representatives, Leke Abejide.
Abejide announced his resignation from the ADC on Friday.
The lawmaker, who made the announcement during a press conference on Friday, also declared his intention to join what he described as a “mainstream political party” ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“I am moving to the mainstream political party,” he stated, adding that the move represents “a homecoming.”
DAILY POST reports that Abejide and a few others were recently expelled from ADC during the party’s national convention.
Reacting, ADC’s mobilization platform on X, ADC Vanguard, said the lawmaker’s exit “marks the end of a distracting chapter and the beginning of a stronger, cleaner, and more united movement”.
“Every serious political platform must, at some point, separate genuine builders from those who thrive on internal crisis.
“Abejide’s exit gives the ADC the breathing space to focus fully on organization, expansion, grassroots mobilization, and the bigger national assignment ahead,” the ADC Vanguard added.
