ADC Leadership Case Adjourned Due to Counsel's Absence
The leadership case concerning the African Democratic Congress (ADC) was postponed on Tuesday due to the absence of Suleiman Usman, SAN, who represents the embattled national chairman, David Mark. The Federal High Court in Abuja was scheduled to hear a pending application related to a suit filed by Nafiu, which seeks to restrain Mark and Aregbesola from leading the party.
Nafiu argued that the emergence of Mark and Aregbesola as interim National Working Committee (NWC) members breached the provisions of the party's constitution and the Electoral Act. The case, marked as FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025, involves Ralph Nwosu, a former ADC national chairman, who stepped down from Mark's leadership.
When the matter was called, Justice Peter Lifu stood down proceedings for 15 minutes to allow Usman to arrive, but upon his absence, the case was adjourned until Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
