Supreme Court to Rule on ADC, PDP Leadership Crisis

The Supreme Court of Nigeria is preparing to rule on the leadership disputes within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the People's Democratic Party (PDP). This decision is expected to reshape the opposition landscape significantly as Nigeria approaches the 2027 elections.

The ruling could determine control over party structures and influence coalition strategies, particularly as figures like Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso intensify calls for a southern presidential candidate. Meanwhile, President Bola Tinubu has appointed Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu as the new Minister of Foreign Affairs following the resignation of Yusuf Tuggar.

Sola Enikanolaiy has been nominated as Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, pending Senate confirmation. Additionally, petrol prices are nearing N1,400 per litre due to global oil tensions, with Dangote Petroleum Refinery reflecting price increases amid rising crude oil costs.
