@_SuperPiz The party was registered with a court order from Kogi. They will just use Appeal court to reverse it

@saheedakinloye_ @kayodebakre8 It’s the court matter that APC actually wants

@kayodebakre8 Too late to leave. They can only pursue it in court, and also speak to the other party on the side.

What are options for ADC?
I mean the real ADC, not the Bala fake one .
A-Leave the party for Bala like PDP was left for Wike and adopt a new party where there won't be another controversy.
Or
B-Battle it hard in court and hope you get good judgment before it's late
A is sensible

@Nshukwi_A @Eromosele6 Let them just go there, Lamidi Apapa will resurrect

@Eromosele6 I think LP was the burner account for the coalition, reasons Otti stayed with Nenadi and Datti declaring for presidency.
Worst case, they just adopt the structure and move there

@realkenokonkwo You were avoiding this fight in LP, you decamped only to find out you were postponing the doomsday

Can Prof Josh Amupitan tell Nigerians where the court of appeal gave an order that the names of ADC Leaders should be struck out of the INEC Portal? Was there any time in history when ADC had no leaders? How can maintaining status quo ante bellum be interpreted to mean that the court ordered that ADC suddenly has no leaders? INEC, APC, and their cohorts will soon reap what they are sowing. If we survived military regimes in Nigeria, we would survive this despot in power.

@emmaikumeh It’s not to late to abandon the ADC, they will not win this case

As I wrote earlier this week, there is a grand plan to ensure that any competitive candidates or parties are excluded from #NigeriaDecides2027.
Joash Amupitan's @inecnigeria & the judiciary are involved in a conspiracy with the ruling @OfficialAPCNg & the judiciary to bring that to fruition. The only "party" that they intend to allow on the ballot besides the incumbent is @GovWike's @OfficialPDPNig.
That will not be much of an election. Whether there will be much of a country left thereafter we will find out.

Accordingly, in order to protect the integrity of the proceedings and the eventual determination of the substantive suit pending before the Federal High Court in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AS FOLLOWS: That Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025, be and is hereby granted accelerated hearing in view of the Electoral Time Table released by the 4th Respondent. That the parties are hereby directed to maintain the status quo ante bellum and shall refrain from taking any step or doing any act capable of foisting a fait accompli on the court or otherwise rendering nugatory the proceedings before the trial court. Cost of N2,000,000.00 (Two Million Naira) is awarded in favour of the 1st respondent.” INEC’S OBSERVATIONS The Commission, after a careful consideration of the Judgment of the Court of Appeal in Appeal No. CA/ABJ/145/2026 and the processes filed by the parties in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025 pending before the Federal High Court in Abuja wishes to observe as follows: That the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Party (ADC) came into being following the National Executive Council Meeting of 29th July, 2025 after all the Mr. Ralph Okey Nwosu Exco Members resigned and ratified the appointment of the present members of the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Senator David Mark. That Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe, who was the Vice-National Chairman, denied he ever resigned from the party and claimed that following the resignation of the Chairman of the party, Mr. Ralph Okey Nwosu, he Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe, automatically ought to take over as the Chairman of the Party, being the only Vice-National Chairman left behind in accordance with the constitution of the Party. That Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe, through an Originating Summons, instituted Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025 before the Federal High Court in Abuja on 2nd September, 2025 for an order of injunction restraining Senator David Mark's group (2nd & 3rd Defendants) from parading themselves, dealing or continuing to deal with INEC as National Chairman and Secretary of the 1st Defendant (ADC), an order restraining INEC from recognising, dealing with or continuing to deal with the 2nd and 3rd Defendants as the National Chairman and Secretary of the 1st Defendant (ADC), an order directing INEC to recognise the Plaintiff (Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe) as the acting National Chairman of the 1st Defendant (the ADC), an order of the Honourable Court restraining INEC from parading the 2nd and 3rd Defendants (Senator David Mark's group) as officials of the1st Defendant (ADC), etc. Along with the Originating Summons were Motion Ex Parte and Motion on Notice restraining INEC from recognising Senator David Mark's group. The motion ex parte was heard on 4th September, 2025 and the trial Judge, Justice Emeka Nwite, directed that the Respondents, including INEC, be put on Notice to show cause why the Motion Ex Parte should not be granted. The 2nd Defendant (Senator David Mark) decided to appeal against the order of Nwite, J. on 18th December, 2025 to the Court of Appeal, Abuja, challenging the jurisdiction of the trial court. On 12th March, 2026, the Court of Appeal in Abuja ( 6 months after the appeal was filed) dismissed the appeal of the 2nd Defendant and, in addition, made the above-quoted presevatory orders. The Plaintiff also filed another Motion Ex Parte and Motion on Notice on 15th September, 2025 before the trial court seeking to prevent the 1st Defendant (ADC) from holding, convening or summoning any Convention, Congress, Conference or meeting and to stop the 4th Defendant (INEC) from attending, monitoring, observing, or recognising any activities organised by the 1st Defendant pending the determination of the suit. That after the Judgment of the Court of Appeal, the Commission received letters from the solicitors to Senator David Mark's group and Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe, making claims and counter-claims to the leadership of the party and making several demands on INEC

PRESS RELEASE
INEC’S POSITION ON THE COURT OF APPEAL’S DECISION IN APPEAL NO. CA/ABJ/145/2026: SENATOR DAVID MARK V HON. NAFIU BALA GOMBE & ORS
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has received:
A letter from the law firm of Suleiman Usman SAN & Co. dated 16th March, 2026, titled:
“RE: NOTICE OF PENDING PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT AND CAUTION AGAINST ANY PURPORTED RECOGNITION OF MR NAFIU BALA GOMBE AS ACTING NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF THE AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (ADC)” written on behalf of concerned stakeholders within the African Democratic Congress (ADC)
A letter from the law firm of Summit Law Chambers also dated 16th March 2026 titled:
“DEMAND FOR ENFORCEMENT OF THE ORDERS MADE BY THE COURT OF APPEAL, ABUJA DIVISION IN APPEAL NO: CA/ABJ/145/2026: SENATOR DAVID MARK V HON. NAFIU BALA GOMBE & 4 ORS” written on behalf of Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe.
While the letter from Suleiman Usman SAN & Co urged the Commission not to recognise Mr Nafiu Bala Gombe as acting National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on account of the pending Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025: Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe v. ADC & 4 Ors. before the Federal High Court, Abuja, where the question of the leadership of the Party (ADC) is presently being contested, the letter from Summit Law Chambers, on the other hand, attached the certified True Copy of the Judgment of the Court of Appeal in Suit No. CA/ABJ/145/2026: Senator David Mark v Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe & Ors and requested the Commission to enforce the judgement of the Court of Appeal, including:
Ceasing recognition of Senator David Mark and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as National Chairman and National Secretary respectively of ADC;
Removing their names from the Commission’s portal; and
Refraining from dealing with or recognising any actions taken by them in respect of the party in line with the preservation orders made by the Court of Appeal.
Subsequently, by another letter on the same subject matter dated 27th March, 2026, Summit Law Chambers alleged that the Commission had acted in disobedience of the Court of Appeal’s Orders by:
i. Inviting Senator David Mark’s group to a political parties’ meeting held on Tuesday, 24th March, 2026; and
ii. Monitoring a purported National Executive Committee meeting of that group.
The solicitors (Summit Law Chambers) further drew the attention of the Commission to the Motion Ex-Parte and Motion on Notice filed by their client on 15th December, 2025, seeking to prevent the 1st Defendant (ADC) from holding any convention, congress, conference, or meeting and to stop INEC from attending, monitoring, observing or recognising any activities of the ADC. They accordingly requested INEC to invalidate the NEC meeting held by Senator David Mark's group on 25th March, 2026, remove the name of Senator David Mark's group from the INEC portal, stop recognising or acknowledging correspondence from them until the determination of the pending suit before the Federal High Court, Abuja and allow Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe to take over the affairs of ADC pending the determination of the case, and that INEC should respect the orders of the Court of Appeal in Appeal No. CA/ABJ/145/2026.
ORDERS OF THE COURT OF APPEAL
In its judgement delivered on 12th March, 2026, the Court of Appeal dismissed the interlocutory appeal by Senator David Mark and made amongst others, the following Orders:
“Finally, it is necessary to make preservatory orders to ensure that the subject matter of the dispute pending before the trial court is not prejudiced as Courts have inherent powers to control and regulate proceedings to ensure justice...

BREAKING: INEC removes ADC National Chairman David Mark and the party's NWC members from its portal, citing an order from the Court of Appeal to maintain status quo in a case filed by ADC’s factional national chairman, Nafiu Bala Gombe.
The commission said it will no longer engage with either faction, nor monitor any meetings, congresses, or conventions of the two groups until the matter at the Federal High Court is decided.

None have clearly improved since 2022 per World Bank, NBS, IMF, UNICEF data:
- Poverty: Worsened (41.8% at $3/day in 2022 to 52%+ projected 2025).
- Employment: Official rate fell (methodology shift 2023), but underemployment/youth joblessness high.
- GDP per capita: Dropped sharply (~$2,139 USD in 2022 to ~$1,084 in 2024).
- Out-of-school children: No gain (10-18M then vs 18-28M reports now).
- Industrialization: Sluggish (manufacturing output -14% in 2023; low growth since).
- Power: Capacity up slightly but 60% plants idle; supply unreliable.
- Security: Banditry/kidnappings persistent (thousands affected yearly).
- Purchasing power: Eroded (cumulative inflation 30%+ peak, naira devaluation).
Recent macro stabilization (inflation ~15%, GDP growth 3-4%) noted, but most metrics lag 2022 levels.

@Ilerioluwakiye_ People keep talking about leaving your job as if it’s something easy, pls don’t try that sh$t if you are not financially equipped
English
Things are very easy to do once you're a nepo baby. Mo Abudu was born in the UK and schooled there. She came back to Nigeria and got employed as HR in ExxonMobil. She worked for about seven years, which is enough to build something. If you're not solid financially and you leave your job to go after your purpose, you'll cry bitter tears. I remember my mentor always telling me that you cannot fuel your passion unless you've made money.

@ui_shehu @Kyusufabba what are the impact of a spare tire or u don’t want to admit the truth
English
I believe that prominent Kano politicians, such as Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and DSP Barau Jibril, among others, will influence the Governor @Kyusufabba to make the right decision by selecting Murtala Sule Garo as his Deputy. Honestly, if that happens, I don’t think the ADC will stand a chance in the upcoming gubernatorial election.

BREAKING: President Tinubu holds separate closed-door meetings with former Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and former Minister of Defence, Badaru Abubakar
Badaru, a former governor of Jigawa State and ex-minister of defence, has been in a running battle with Governor Namadi over APC's structure in Jigawa. This battle led to the dropping of Badaru's nominee, Bashir Gumel, as the APC National Financial Secretary with Governor Namadi nominating another person to take over the role.
Badaru has also been rumoured to be considering a defection to the ADC, but the former governor has denied any plans to do so.
Ganduje, on the other hand, is expected to remain in the APC as the former governor and former APC National Chairman has no plans to defect to the ADC coalition.

@emmaikumeh Power isn’t just in public speeches it’s in closed rooms where alliances are tested, loyalties are negotiated, and futures are quietly decided.
Meetings with Bola Tinubu, Abdullahi Ganduje, and Badaru Abubakar signal one thing: the real battle is for control, not headlines.

Ganduje is also expected to nominate the next deputy governor of Kano State following the resignation of Aminu Gwarzo, with his preferred candidate rumoured to be Murtala Garo but there are rumours that the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, Jibrin Fagore, might also be interested in the seat.
