In a significant political shift, Rt. Hon. Abejide has officially left the African Democratic Congress (ADC), citing internal crises and ongoing legal battles as primary reasons for his departure. This announcement, made on May 3, 2026, underscores the tumultuous landscape within the party, which has faced considerable factionalism and leadership disputes in recent months.
Abejide's resignation raises questions about the future of the ADC, especially as he clarified that his decision was not influenced by any external figures, specifically mentioning Speaker Gbajabiamila. "This decision stems from a deep-seated need for stability and progress, which I could no longer find within the ADC," he stated, reflecting the frustrations of many who have grappled with the party's direction.
As Abejide seeks new political avenues, the ADC must confront the challenges posed by his exit and the broader implications for its unity and electoral prospects. The party's ability to reconcile internal divisions will be crucial in the lead-up to the next elections, as discontent may further erode its support base. The coming months will be pivotal for both Abejide and the ADC.
