A faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) escalated led by Nafiu Bala Gombe, its National Chairman staged a counter-protest in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, on Thursday demanding that the faction led by David Mark stay away from its internal affairs.

The demonstration which also had the House of Representatives member Leke Abejide in attendance called on Senator David Mark-led leadership to “leave the ADC alone,” insisting that the party’s issues should be handled internally without outside influence.
