ADC Rejects Court Ruling Against David Mark's Leadership
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has publicly rejected a court judgment delivered by Justice Peter Lifu in Abuja on November 5, 2026, which dismissed the leadership of Senator David Mark and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. ADC's National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, labeled the ruling as politically motivated, expressing concerns about its timing, especially following a significant presidential campaign rally.
The ADC's legal argument is based on a prior ruling from July 2, 2026, by Justice Musa Liman, which affirmed the legitimacy of Mark's leadership. The ADC contends that a court of coordinate jurisdiction cannot overturn an existing judgment from a court of equal standing.
The party warned that invalidating its leadership could jeopardize numerous candidates across various election levels. They called on the judiciary to resist being used for political purposes and urged members to remain calm while pursuing legal avenues to contest the ruling.
