The Iyamoye/Igbopin/Okealuju Ward of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), on behalf of the entire Ijumu Local Government ADC has disassociated itself from the purported suspension of Hon. Leke Abejide Joseph, House of Representatives member for Iyagba Federal Constituency, describing the move as a failed coup by political desperadoes and impostors with no legitimacy within the party.
Speaking during a ward meeting held on August 5, 2025, the ward leader, Otunba Duro Olusegun Aseremaseka, condemned the actions of Kingsley Oggah and John Adaji, calling for their immediate arrest and prosecution for impersonation and attempted destabilization of the party in Ijumu LGA.
According to the ward, those parading themselves as a “coalition” are nothing more than power-hungry individuals of questionable character, acting outside the constitution and spirit of the ADC. “These people do not speak for us. They are not recognized. They are not ADC,” Aseremaseka declared.
The ward reaffirmed its full and unwavering loyalty to Abejide, whom they described as the authentic and only national leader of the ADC, commending his continued support for the people — including his payment of WAEC fees — even after the political betrayals of the last election.
“We are proud of our leader. He is focused on development, not drama. Our loyalty is to Leke Abejide alone, not to any self-imposed coalition of grabbers,” the ward stated.
“There’s no room for impostors. The party in the LGA stands solidly behind Leke Abejide — the face and future of the ADC.”
