A social media user known as MrDonPC has shared a clear and straightforward method for members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to deregister from the party quickly and legally. This guide comes after Peter Obi announced his defection from the ADC to the National Democratic Coalition (NDC), prompting many of his supporters to consider leaving the ADC as well.
Why This Guide Is Important
Following Peter Obi's departure, numerous ADC members are seeking to resign their membership to join the NDC. The process outlined below ensures that resignations are legally binding and that members have proof of their exit, protecting them from any future claims by the ADC.
Step-by-Step Guide to Deregister from ADC
Follow these ten simple steps to formally leave the ADC:
- Write a resignation letter using the template provided below.
- State resignation effective immediately – clearly indicate that you resign with immediate effect.
- Withdraw prior membership – include a line confirming that you withdraw any previous expression of membership.
- Sign the letter – a digital signature is acceptable if sending by email.
- Send your resignation via email to info@adcregistration.ng and support@adcregistration.ng, or by physical mail to 121 Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja. You may also send an optional WhatsApp or SMS to +234 702 642 0430 stating: “I’ve emailed my resignation.”
- Keep proof – save a screenshot of the email sent and keep a PDF copy of the letter.
- Legal coverage – you are legally covered once the resignation is sent. Resignation is effective upon communication, not upon ADC acknowledgement.
- Join NDC – you can now safely register with the NDC at http://ndcregister.com.
- Post publicly – share your resignation on social media for timestamp evidence. You may cover your full name and NIN for privacy.
- Unfollow ADC accounts – as a final step, unfollow ADC social media accounts.
