Former Kogi West Senator, Dino Melaye, has accused Nafiu Bala of compromising his integrity amid the ongoing leadership crisis within the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
Melaye made the allegation during an interview on Arise Television, where he claimed that Bala had previously participated in a National Executive Committee meeting that endorsed the current leadership of the party.
According to Melaye, the NEC meeting, held on July 29, 2025, was attended by Bala and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
He stated that the meeting ratified the leadership of David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, and others.
“On July 29, 2025 we had a NEC meeting that Nafiu was present. In that meeting the leadership of Aregbesola, David Mark and others were ratified.
“The one who has commercialized his conscience, the one was is laying claims now was present at that meeting, INEC was also present at that meeting.
“INEC monitored that NEC meeting; in August we wrote INEC to say that David Mark, Aregbesola are now occupying their positions though they were present and they certified receiving that.
“At that point from May 29, David Mark authentically became the National Chairman because NEC is the highest making decision body of the party, and Nafiu went to court on September 2, 2025.
“Meanwhile ratification of David Mark by INEC was done before September.
“If you ask me what the situation was before September 2nd, it was that David Mark was the Chairman of ADC and Nafiu resigned on May 17,” he said.
