The African Democratic Congress (ADC) staged a protest in Abuja over the delay in releasing the Certified True Copy (CTC) of a Federal High Court judgment that nullified the party's leadership, led by Senator David Mark. The protest followed a November 5 judgment by Justice Peter Lifu, which invalidated Mark's leadership and decisions made under his watch, including the party's primary elections for the 2027 general elections. The ADC candidates submitted petitions to various international bodies, including the United Nations, seeking intervention to protect their constitutional right to appeal. The judgment arose from a suit filed by Nafiu Bala Gombe, a former Deputy National Chairman of the ADC, who challenged the process through which Mark and other members of the party's caretaker leadership assumed control. The ruling has deepened the leadership crisis in the opposition party as preparations for the 2027 general elections gather momentum.
