According to the, “The ADC National Youth Awareness Forum (ADC-NYAF) writes to you with utmost concern regarding your recent public statements in which you allegedly declared yourself as the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
“This claim is not only misleading but also a direct violation of democratic principles, party constitution, and established leadership structure of our great party. Such actions are capable of creating confusion, disunity, and unnecessary tension within the party and among the general public.
:It is on record, with clear and verifiable evidence circulating publicly, that you had earlier tendered your resignation from your previous position. Furthermore, you openly declared your support for the emergence of Distinguished Senator David Mark as the Interim National Chairman of the party.
:Your sudden contradictory claim, therefore, raises serious concerns about credibility, consistency, and respect for internal party democracy.
“In view of the above, we hereby issue you a 48-hour ultimatum to publicly retract your statement claiming to be the National Chairman of ADC, tender an unreserved apology to the leadership and members of the party
“Failure to comply within this stipulated time will leave us with no option but to take further necessary actions within the ambit of the law and party regulations to protect the integrity and unity of the African Democratic Congress.
“We urge you to act responsibly and in the best interest of the party and democratic values”.
