Senator Ogoshi Onawo has resigned from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing persistent internal conflicts and prolonged legal disputes as the reasons for his departure.
In announcing his decision, Onawo said the party’s recurring leadership disagreements and ongoing court cases had created an environment that made it difficult for him to continue his political activities within the ADC. He expressed concern that the internal challenges had hindered the party’s ability to focus on its objectives and effectively serve its members.
According to the senator, the prolonged legal battles have consumed valuable time and resources, weakening the party’s organisational structure and affecting its overall progress. He stressed the need for political parties to maintain unity, stability, and strong internal governance to remain credible alternatives in Nigeria’s democratic process.
Onawo’s resignation adds to the challenges facing the ADC as it seeks to strengthen its internal cohesion ahead of future political engagements. His exit is expected to fuel further discussions about leadership, party administration, and the need for lasting reforms within the organisation.
The development underscores the importance of resolving internal disputes through effective dialogue and transparent leadership to preserve party unity and public confidence.
