REPORT: Nafiu Bala’s Resignation Letter Surfaces Amid ADC Legal Disputes

A resignation letter reportedly authored by Nafiu Bala has surfaced online, adding a new dimension to the ongoing leadership and legal controversies within the African Democratic Congress.
The letter, dated March 18, 2025, and addressed to his ward chairman in Gombe State, indicates that Bala formally stepped down from his position as Deputy National Chairman of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC). According to the document, his resignation took effect on March 26, 2025.
In the letter, Bala reportedly emphasized that his decision was not an abandonment of the party but rather a step aimed at ensuring a smooth transition within the ADC. He also expressed willingness to continue serving the party in any other capacity if called upon.
The emergence of the letter comes amid ongoing legal actions involving factions within the party, with Bala now reportedly linked to court proceedings seeking orders that could impact the ADC’s leadership structure.
The development has sparked reactions among party members and political observers, with some questioning the consistency between Bala’s earlier stated position on facilitating internal stability and his current legal posture.
As the situation continues to unfold, attention remains on how the courts and party leadership will address the growing internal tensions, especially in the lead-up to the 2027 general elections.
