The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expelled Nafiu Bala and several other members over alleged anti-party activities.
The decision was announced on Tuesday during the party’s eighth national convention held in Abuja, where top party officials and delegates gathered to deliberate on key issues affecting the party.
A motion to expel them was moved and seconded during the convention.
The report of the party’s disciplinary committee, as read at the convention, stated, “Mr Nafiu Bala, Odion Kennedy, Mrs Stella Chukwuma, Johnny, Derek, and Elias have been given time to retrace their actions but have failed to do so.
“Consequently, the convention is respectfully invited to expel the above-named persons for anti-party activities.
“Pursuant to Article 92 of the constitution of the party, which provides that the national convention shall have the power to suspend or expel any member of the party, exercise control, and take disciplinary action on all individuals, organs, officers, and members of the party.”
The party has been embroiled in a leadership crisis, as two factions claim the ADC leadership.
Mr Bala had filed a suit seeking to stop the David Mark-led ADC from parading itself as the party’s leadership.
