ADC Crisis: ‘Nafiu Bala Resigned, Congratulates David Mark’

The head of mission of the Leadership and Accountability Initiative, Henry Shield, has dismissed Nafiu Bala’s claims to the ADC leadership, insisting the man resigned and even congratulated David Mark publicly.

Speaking on SYMFONI, Shield said Bala congratulated David Mark on Facebook after the entire NWC resigned, only to start going to court after he was reached.

He said the moment a person resigns a position, that position becomes alien to him, and he has no right, legally or morally, to lay claim to it or file a case in court.

In Shield’s words: “When the whole NWC resigned, it included Nafiu Bala. Nafiu Bala congratulated David Mark on his social media platform, I think it was on Facebook. At that point he had not been reached, because at this level there is no need to hide anything. He congratulated David Mark until he was reached, and then he started going to court after resigning as a member of the NWC.

The moment you have resigned a position, that position becomes alien to you. You do not have any right, legally or morally or otherwise, to lay claim to that position or to file a case in court.”
