ADC Urges INEC to Uphold Leadership Status Quo

The African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by Hon. Nafiu Bala Gomb, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to respect the status quo and permit Gomb to lead the party.

This request follows INEC's refusal to grant a request on April 1, 2026, allowing Gomb to assume control of the party's affairs pending the resolution of a substantial case in trial court. Gomb's appeal, which draws attention to a court order (Appeal No.

CA/ABJ/145/2026), explicitly directs INEC to refrain from actions that could undermine the trial court's proceedings. The ADC emphasizes adherence to its constitution and welcomes INEC's decision not to recognize the faction led by former Senate President David Mark, reaffirming its commitment to a fully democratic process in Nigeria.
