ADC factional chair denies threat to life claims, calls report 'malicious'

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) finds itself embroiled in internal wrangling, with its factional Chairman, Nafi’u Bala, vehemently denying recent reports that cast him in a negative light. These reports, which suggested Bala expressed regret over his involvement in the party’s crisis and claimed his life was in danger, have been dismissed as fabrications by the Gombe governorship candidate.

“

I regret my role in the ADC crises. I did not know it would reach this level. My life is in danger.

Bala has unequivocally labeled the publication as "false, malicious, and deliberately crafted to damage my integrity." He insists that he neither granted any interview nor authorized anyone to speak on his behalf concerning the party's internal affairs. This strong rebuttal aims to set the record straight and counter what he describes as a smear campaign.

According to Bala, his actions within the party have strictly adhered to due process, particularly following the resignation of the former National Chairman. Any insinuation that he is distancing himself from the leadership dispute or expressing regret is, in his view, entirely untrue. He is resolute in his stance, emphasizing that his commitment is to the ADC constitution and the pursuit of justice through the legal system, specifically the Federal High Court. This ongoing legal battle underscores the deep divisions within the party and the high stakes involved in its leadership contest.

I have not instructed anyone, including the individual mentioned in the publication, to make statements on my behalf. Such claims should be disregarded.
