The Supreme Court of Nigeria has reserved judgment in a crucial appeal involving the African Democratic Congress (ADC), following the conclusion of hearings.
The case centers on a leadership dispute between factions led by David Mark and Nafiu Bala Gombe, with the appeal challenging earlier rulings regarding the party’s leadership structure.
During proceedings, counsel from both sides presented their arguments before the apex court after the regularisation of processes. At the end of the session, the court announced that judgment has been reserved, with a date to be communicated to all parties involved.
The anticipated ruling is expected to determine the legitimate leadership and legal standing within the ADC, a decision that could significantly shape the party’s direction ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Further updates are expected as the court announces its verdict.
