Ogun State’s chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) says it rejects efforts to establish caretaker committees or create parallel party leadership. It insists its executive committee led by Otunba Oluwafemi Soluade remains the legitimate leadership structure in the state.
Across outlets, the dispute is framed as a defence of internal party democracy and elected leadership. The Daily Post Nigeria says the party warns against political interference and “parallel leadership structures,” describing such moves as a threat to internal democratic processes. The Punch reports the ADC rejection of a caretaker committee and parallel leadership.
Vanguard likewise focuses on the ADC’s refusal of caretaker committees and the appointment of a parallel state chairman, while reiterating that the Soluade-led executive is the legitimate leadership. While the core message is the same, the emphasis differs: some outlets foreground the threat of interference and parallel structures, while others foreground the specific mechanism of caretaker appointments and parallel chairmanship.
