The faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) loyal to former Senate President David Mark has elected Emmanuel Famojuro as the new state chairman for Ogun State. The election was conducted by affirmation at a State Congress held in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The ADC in Nigeria has been marked by internal divisions, with competing factions each claiming legitimacy over the party's structure at both national and state levels. The David Mark-led group represents one of the principal factions in this ongoing dispute within the party.
The newly elected state executive, including Famojuro as chairman, is expected to consolidate the faction's organizational presence in Ogun State ahead of future electoral activities. The outcome of the congress reflects the broader power struggle within the ADC as different groups seek to control the party's machinery across Nigeria's states.
The ADC has historically positioned itself as a centrist political platform in Nigeria, though internal conflicts have periodically undermined its cohesion and electoral performance at both state and federal levels.
