Status quo antebellum: INEC has twisted this into a supposed “ADC leadership vacuum,” a claim that collapses under even basic scrutiny.

Below is the actual substance of the Court’s ruling, the very judgment Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) now hides behind to justify removing David Mark from its portal. But this interpretation is not just questionable, it is deeply misleading. The judgment does not authorize, justify, or even imply the action INEC has taken.

Let’s be clear: the true status quo before litigation was the recognized emergence of David Mark and his team. That was the existing reality. What INEC has done is to rewrite that reality under the guise of legal compliance.

At this point, INEC’s conduct is no longer a mere administrative misstep, it is beginning to look like a deliberate distortion of due process. An institution meant to safeguard democracy is instead undermining it, substituting judicial clarity with bureaucratic manipulation.

If this is the standard INEC intends to operate by, then Nigerians have every reason to be alarmed. The trajectory is dangerous. With actions like this, it’s not alarmist to say that INEC is positioning itself as a serious threat to democratic stability.

And if this pattern continues unchecked, then the question is no longer hypothetical: what exactly will INEC present to this country in 2027? Because at this rate, it won’t be democracy as we know it.

Thank you INEC for standing up against bully. We will not allow the political orphans to turn our country to banana Republic.

I thought you were the one I saw while visiting helinues at Uselu ?

Don't worry soon your turn will come and a private ward will be needed for you .

The court ordered that status quo be maintained. And the status quo is that ADC has not conducted a national convention which is the only body recognized by the party to change its leadership. So David Mark, Aregbesola and others are strangers to the party.

You said the same about Lamidi Apapa, where is he today

I should be asking you where is Obi today?

INEC is the other arm of APC.

What else does sane people expect in a democracy where the rule of law have no basis and the Nigerian constitution is spurned @will?

This is how the many court judgements especially this one and the NURTW industrial court judgement is being deliberately misinterpreted to suit the MC Oluomo faction. There is always an end to tyranny. The current power monger should bear that in mind.

Obi is where he's suppose to be. Working with the other two major contestants to bring an end to this tinubu's calamitous government.

You are shameless

Obi is the shameless person here because a serious person by now would have built his own party instead of trying to hijack ADC from the rightful owners.

Working to steal other people's party like he did in LP ADC are waiting for them fully prepared.

Funny how you’re talking about “stealing parties” like it’s some crime like the ongoing massacre and bombing of Nigerians under the Tinubu regime

First, get your facts straight: when exactly did Peter Obi formally join ADC? And when was this so-called case even filed in court? Or are we just running on vibes a

If preparedness means recycling the same tired talking points, then congrats, you people stay “fully prepared” indeed
