The Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) under Senator David Mark, invalidating all decisions and actions taken by the party’s caretaker committee.
The ruling also affects the nomination of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the ADC’s presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.
Justice Peter Lifu, who delivered the judgement on Thursday, declared the Mark-led caretaker committee illegal, ruling against the process through which the committee assumed control of the party and conducted the presidential primary that produced Atiku.
