Reacting to his purported expulsion, Nafiu Gombe said the move was not binding because the convention in itself was illegal and cannot stand as recognised by law and INEC.

He said: “How can somebody outside the party - I did not see David Mark, Aregbesola or anyone of them as ADC members.

“I hope you are aware that those people took me to the Court of Appeal up to the Supreme Court, even at the Supreme Court today (Tuesday), the application by David Mark was dismissed. These are people that are behaving like they are above the law.

“As we can see, INEC did not appear before their convention, yet they went ahead with it, that is an illegal convention because they are not out party members, so I won’t even comment against that exercise because it’s just an entertainment.”

Efforts to reach Kennedy Odion, Secretary of the Interim Caretaker Committee of the NEC constituted by state chairmen and some members of the party’s NEC, for reaction were unsuccessful. His phone line could not be reached.
