The Cross River State chapter of the African Democratic Congress has rejected the emergence of an interim nationwide caretaker committee.
The celebration described it as unconstitutional and a threat to the celebration’s participation within the 2027 basic elections.
The State Vice Chairman (Central) and Director of Coverage and Technique of the celebration, Dr. MacFarlane Ejah, made the place identified on Tuesday throughout a press briefing held on the Ernest Bassey Press Centre in Calabar.
Ejah, stated the celebration within the state was alarmed by what he described as a rising erosion of inside democracy throughout the ADC on the nationwide degree, warning that such actions might jeopardise the celebration’s credibility and electoral prospects.

He traced the event to a gathering held on July 29, 2025, on the Chelsea Lodge in Abuja, the place a gaggle allegedly dissolved the democratically elected Nationwide Government Committee and introduced an interim caretaker committee.
These named within the committee embrace David Mark as interim nationwide chairman, Rauf Aregbesola as interim nationwide secretary, alongside different members.
In line with Ejah, the motion contravenes the celebration’s 2018 structure, which, he stated, doesn’t recognise interim or caretaker management at any degree.
