ADC Leadership Dispute Protests Continue in Abuja Court
Protests took place at an Abuja court amid ongoing leadership disputes within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), specifically involving factions led by David Mark and Nafiu Bala. The court has adjourned the case again, with a ruling on a recusal application for Justice Peter Lifu scheduled for June 16, 2026.
The legal battle has seen the Mark-led faction challenging the leadership claims of Bala, with the matter previously brought before the Federal High Court and subsequently elevated to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is expected to address the case on April 30, 2026, after a request for an accelerated hearing.
The case has faced multiple adjournments, with the latest being on June 8, 2026, where arguments ensued regarding the handling of the suit by Justice Lifu. The ADC's internal conflict continues to unfold as both factions seek to solidify their leadership claims.
