SDP Chairman Prof. Gombe Assumes Office After Supreme Court Ruling

Prof. Sadiq Gomb assumed office as the chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) following the Supreme Court's dismissal of the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) appeal against the party's leadership.

The court's decision upheld Gomb's leadership, emphasizing the importance of the rule of law in Nigeria's democracy. INEC was instructed to respect the court's ruling and cease interference in the party's internal affairs.

The legal battle, which started with lower court rulings in favor of Gomb, has now been settled by the apex court, affirming Gomb's legitimacy as the SDP chairman.
