Justice Musa Suleiman Liman of the Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed April 13 for judgment in a suit challenging the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), including Senator David Mark and former Minister Rauf Aregbesola.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The case was filed by House of Representatives member Leke Abejide, who is seeking an order restraining Mark and Aregbesola from parading themselves as national chairman and secretary of the party.
Abejide, in his suit, also asked the court to nullify the alleged transfer of leadership of the ADC and stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising the duo in any official capacity.
During proceedings on Friday, counsel for all parties adopted their arguments for and against the suit, after which the judge scheduled judgment for April 13.
The defendants, including the ADC, Mark, Aregbesola, former party chairman Ralph Nwosu, and INEC, urged the court to dismiss the case, arguing that it concerns internal party affairs which are not subject to judicial intervention.
They also maintained that the plaintiff lacked legal standing and that the leadership process in question followed due party procedures.
INEC’s counsel also joined in seeking dismissal of the suit, describing it as lacking merit.
The court is expected to deliver its ruling on the matter on the scheduled date.

Sani said the workers have suffered severe financial hardship, adding that six members have died while another is battling serious illness due to lack of funds.
He lamented that repeated attempts to resolve the issue through official channels have failed, forcing them to seek spiritual support.
The group maintained that they are not ghost workers and demanded full payment of their outstanding salaries.

A cleric who addressed the gathering urged the government to act swiftly while also praising ongoing efforts in education and security reforms in the state.
