Bala’s assertion comes months after the party, under the Ralph Nwosu-led National Working Committee, handed over the national secretariat to Mark as National Chairman and Aregbesola as National Secretary during a high-profile event in July. Despite this, Bala told journalists in Abuja on Wednesday that he was unaware of the handover and questioned its validity.
