<\/p>\nFormer National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Ralph Nwosu, has accused the All Progressives Congress of plotting to frustrate the party and its National Chairman, David Mark, while defending the processes that produced the party\u2019s current leadership.\n<\/p>\n
Nwosu alleged that the ruling party was influencing developments surrounding the ADC leadership dispute, insisting that the processes leading to the emergence of the coalition and the new leadership were legitimate and witnessed by the Independent National Electoral Commission.\n<\/p>\n
Speaking during an interview on ARISE News on Wednesday, Nwosu challenged anyone questioning the processes to establish that irregularities occurred.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the processes that brought about the coalition, I championed it. And I can assure you, if any court finds anything wrong in a true sense, authentically, I can assure you nothing like that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He said INEC witnessed the processes and initially submitted a report confirming that the procedures were properly conducted.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything we did was 100 percent, INEC were there, they were clear with their witness.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when this case first started, INEC submitted their report of all the processes that we went through, and they gave us an okay mark,\u201d Nwosu said.<\/p>\n
Questioning INEC\u2019s subsequent decision to withdraw its defence, the former ADC chairman asked who influenced the commission to change its position.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho influenced INEC to say, go and withdraw, don\u2019t defend? Who? And all of those exhibits are still there in that file. But INEC now wrote to say that they are withdrawing,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
Nwosu further cited an earlier court ruling which, according to him, affirmed Mark as the authentic chairman of the ADC and validated the processes he conducted.\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cBased on the evidence that INEC submitted, because they witnessed all the processes, and the one we submitted, which could lead us, aligned with what INEC submitted, Justice Lyman ruled that David Mark is the authentic chairman of ADC, and that all the processes that I conducted went well,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
He alleged that the APC was behind the developments surrounding the leadership dispute, claiming that the ruling party was determined to weaken the ADC and frustrate Mark.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cSo what we experience is the rascality of a very corrupt political culture, of which APC, government, I must accuse of being liable,\u201d Nwosu said.<\/p>\n
He also alleged that the government was attempting to frustrate the party and its leadership.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are playing games. Because the government is going down to see if they can frustrate, number one, the person of David Mark, and frustrate ADC. But they can\u2019t,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
Nwosu, however, insisted that the party remained determined despite the legal dispute, saying the developments had not affected its political activities.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very determined. On that day, they are playing these games. We went to Kebbi State. We did what we did. Tomorrow, we are out again. We are competing. It\u2019s not affecting us,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
He also promised a public presentation of evidence to support the party\u2019s position and expose what he described as irregularities surrounding the leadership dispute.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are planning for a major exposition.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to open a gallery to shame the INEC, to shame the judiciary, and that will begin very soon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The ADC leadership dispute followed a Federal High Court ruling in Abuja rejecting a purported resignation letter allegedly written by former ADC Deputy National Chairman, Nafiu Bala, https:\/\/punchng.com\/adc-crisis-court-declares-nafiu-balas-adc-resignation-letter-fake\/ which the David Mark-led faction had relied on to establish his resignation. Justice Peter Lifu, in a judgment delivered on November 5, ruled that the document was not genuine. https:\/\/punchng.com\/breaking-court-sacks-mark-led-adc-nwc-nullifies-atikus-candidacy\/?amp\n <\/p>\n
