A member of the House of Representatives, Leke Abejide, on Thursday led members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in a peaceful protest at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja, demanding the recognition of Nafiu Bala as the party’s National Chairman.

The protest, which featured Nafiu Bala alongside Abejide, also called for the immediate upload of Bala’s name on INEC’s portal ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Addressing supporters during the rally, Bala insisted that his demand was backed by a subsisting Court of Appeal order, urging the electoral body to uphold the rule of law.

Bala said: “As I address you today, I urge INEC to place my name on its portal in line with the status quo ante bellum order of the Court of Appeal. This is not just a personal request but a plea for justice, accountability, and adherence to the rule of law.”
