The African Democratic Congress (ADC), has cautioned Nigerians against attending unauthorized rallies allegedly being organized by unregistered and self-proclaimed individuals claiming affiliation with the party.

In a letter obtained by journalists on Friday, the National Chairman of the ADC, Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe, warned that such activities pose security risks, create public confusion, and undermine the integrity of the party.

He stressed that any event not sanctioned by the legitimate leadership would be considered illegitimate and not recognized by the party

According to the letter: “The National Body of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) issues this formal notice to alert the public to potential security risks posed by unauthorized party rallies being organized by unregistered and self-proclaimed individuals claiming affiliation with the party.

“To maintain public safety, prevent confusion, and uphold the party’s integrity, the ADC issues the following directives: All party activities, including rallies, meetings, and events, require prior approval from the authentic party leadership under the stewardship of Hon. Nafiu Bala, the National Chairman of the ADC.

“Any party activities that do not
comply with these directives may be considered illegitimate and not
recognized by the party. Warning Against Unauthorized Participation: Members and the public are advised to exercise caution and refrain from participating in unauthorized ADC events, as these may compromise security and undermine the party’s credibility.

“The ADC leadership urges members and the public to verify the legitimacy of any
party events through official party channels to avoid participating in unauthorized gatherings that may compromise security. This measure is indispensable to maintaining the party’s integrity and ensuring public safety.”
