Court Sets Hearing Date for ADC Leadership Dispute
The Federal High Court in Abuja has set a hearing date for May 8, 2026, concerning a leadership dispute within the African Democratic Congress (ADC). The suit was filed by Nafiu Bala Gomb, the former Deputy Chairman of the ADC, against Senator David Mark and other party leaders.
Justice Emeka Nwite is presiding over the case, which was previously adjourned indefinitely on April 14, 2026. The adjournment followed a request from Gomb's legal team, which sought an accelerated hearing after the Supreme Court dismissed an interlocutory appeal filed by Mark on April 30, 2026.
Gomb's suit aims to restrain Mark and others from claiming leadership positions within the ADC, arguing that the process violated provisions of the ADC constitution and the Electoral Act. The case involves several defendants, including Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and Ralph Nwosu, with the latter reportedly stepping down from his leadership role in the ADC.
