The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Cross River State has raised concerns over an alleged attempt to take control of the party's structure. During a press briefing in Calabar, McFarlane Ejah, the party’s Vice Chairman for the Central Senatorial District, revealed that certain individuals, who lack recognition as party members, are trying to form an unauthorized membership mobilization and registration committee throughout the state. This allegation highlights potential internal conflicts within the party, suggesting that dissenting voices could undermine party unity and effectiveness in the region.

Ejah emphasized that the actions of these individuals are not only unconstitutional but also an affront to the established leadership of the ADC. He expressed strong condemnation of their efforts to convene meetings under the party's name, labeling these maneuvers as morally wrong and unacceptable in a democratic framework. His remarks reflect a broader concern about the integrity of party processes and the importance of adherence to established protocols in party governance.

This situation in Cross River State underscores tensions within the ADC and raises questions about the party's cohesion and strategic direction ahead of upcoming political activities. As members of the party express their grievances openly, it reflects the ongoing struggles many political factions face regarding leadership legitimacy and member engagement in Nigeria’s complex political landscape.
