Supreme Court Set To Hear Mark’s Appeal In ADC Leadership Battle.

Published

on

The Supreme Court is set to hear on Tuesday an appeal filed by former Senate President, David Mark, challenging a suit instituted by former Deputy National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Nafiu Bala, over the party’s leadership.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The appeal is part of ongoing legal disputes arising from a deepening leadership crisis that has split the party into rival factions laying claim to its national structure.

In the suit filed through his counsel, Rilwan Okpanachi, Mark is seeking an order staying the execution of a Court of Appeal judgment delivered on March 12.

He is also asking the apex court to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from making any changes to the party’s current leadership structure until the case is resolved.

Additionally, Mark is seeking to halt further proceedings in a related matter before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The legal battle stems from a ruling delivered on September 4, 2025, by Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court following an ex parte application filed by Bala.

The ADC has been embroiled in a prolonged leadership crisis, with opposing factions holding competing claims and engaging in multiple court cases over control of the party.

Tensions escalated after INEC reportedly removed Mark’s name as national chairman from its records, prompting protests from his faction, which included several prominent political figures.

A rival faction led by Nafiu Bala also staged a counter-protest, demanding recognition from the electoral body.

The Supreme Court’s ruling is expected to be crucial in determining the direction of the ongoing leadership dispute within the party.

Published

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has declared that those in power are completely unconcerned about the widespread poverty, insecurity, and economic hardship plaguing the country, viewing the very existence of ordinary citizens as a nuisance.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Adebayo made this statement on Wednesday in Abuja, asserting that the welfare of the people is the least of the government’s priorities. According to him, leaders in government are primarily focused on siphoning public funds for personal luxury rather than addressing national crises.

  • Neglect of Citizen Welfare: He emphasized that the absence of people-centered governance is why successive administrations have repeatedly failed to tackle poverty, unemployment, blackouts, and insecurity.

  • Selfish Ambitions of the Ruling Class: Adebayo claimed that officials only view citizens as useful once every four years when they need votes, otherwise treating the population’s existence as an inconvenience.

  • A Call to Action for Youths: Urging Nigerian youths to unite ahead of the 2027 presidential election, he stressed that citizens now have the power of the ballot—enabled by technological advancements that prevent old methods of rigging—to oust President Bola Tinubu’s administration and rescue the nation.
