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...

Sometimes I wonder… who is really to blame? The leaders who keep failing us, or the citizens who keep enabling the same cycle? Because nothing changes if we only speak up for a few days and move on. Nigeria deserves better. But change will demand more from all of us. This cannot continue. #NigeriaDecides #FixNigeria #DemandBetter #GoodGovernance #SpeakUp

Nigeria is exhausting. Not because we lack potential, but because we keep normalising dysfunction. We get angry. We rant. We trend. Then we go silent… and the same system continues. And that silence? That’s why those in power don’t take us seriously. We cannot keep living like this. Enough is enough. #Nigeria #EndBadGovernance #Accountability #Leadership #WakeUpNigeria

ALL THESE DOCUMENTS ARE FALSE! I have attached a screenshot of Le Groenland Group’s “Contact Us” part of their website. 1. They don’t have that Abuja office address in Nigeria, their address is in Lagos 2. The Nigerian phone numbers they have on their website are totally different from the ones on the documents 3. The email on the document is not their contact email @Wizarab10 @_belikebaddy have so much explanations to do, dem never even start.

@trigottista Ah, the further you go, the more revealing it becomes! What’s going on? They truly need to give a detailed explanation of how the documents emanate!

@trigottista @Wizarab10 Matters arising 😳

Na this official document wey @Wizarab10 post dey shock me And this is the first document from last year 😭 This second donations go cast the first cos how official document go from Number 4 jump go Number 6

@petithazard2 Bro, I no fit lie to you na 😁 The president can even foot the bill! Let him at least contribute from his Elon payout!

People dey talk oooo

@__DeeeCR7 @EzeChineduChri1 I would suggest he should manage the one leg since he doesn’t have anything to contribute to his own surgery! I mean, it doesn’t make sense that people are suffering to raise funds for him while he’s busy celebrating the people who kept Nigeria in this current situation.

Baddy, I’m sorry if this comes off as insensitive, but I need to ask. You’re a big account with well over 100k followers, which means you likely earn at least $700 every week. Are you saying you couldn’t save up to ₦1m of your own money to contribute to your surgery? Let’s even leave aside the fact that people weren’t clearly told the donations were only for one leg. How much have you personally contributed so far? Because from the outside, it looks like you’re doing better than a lot of the people being asked to donate. Earning close to a million naira every two weeks from revenue and gigs, yet people who are not even sure where their next meal will come from are expected to give from what little they have to send you to Egypt just doesn’t sit right.

@UnkleAyo What’s going on here? 😳😳😳

😭😭😭😭 Jaskelebe.

@Morris_Monye Amen 🙏

No bad news in your family this April Prophet Morris speaks it over your life. Believe and say Amen.

Calculate X payouts since wey he fix the first leg! Every two weeks for at least 3 months Make he tender that one first take open the donations

@trigottista Harry you dey worry o! I hope it won’t enter extra time? 😂😂

First leg and second leg 😂😂😂 No wonder the legs curve like UCL trophy

@trigottista Ike gwuru!

Make Baddy relax, jeans don already dey incase na one tenure the legs later do

@trigottista Hmmm I thought the money for the leg surgery was completed back then? What's going on here? This is concerning.

FIRST DOCUMENT 2025: Please note that $1 exchange is projected at 1,730 naira representing black market exchange rate as at November 9 2024 SECOND DOCUMENT 2026: Please note that $1 exchange is projected at 1,380 naira representing black market exchange rate. The hospital suddenly forgot to add the month/year’s exchange rate of reference like in document 1. If it was a standard procedure to drop exchange rate and period of reference, why is it missing now? I don’t want to believe you guys are editing documents now

Lately I’ve been thinking about something interesting and I’m genuinely curious to learn. Some Japanese names and places, like Ehime, sound quite similar to names we have in parts of Africa. I know languages can evolve differently, but I wonder if this is purely coincidence or if there are deeper linguistic or historical explanations behind it. I would really love to hear perspectives from Japanese people and anyone knowledgeable about language and culture. Is it just similar sounds, or is there more to it? #Japan #Language #Culture #Linguistics

@DanielRegha Daniel do you sleep at all? Why are you up this early?

Beautiful full moon this night; Clear clouds.
