ADC altered their Constitution to include this in 2022.

In a NEC meeting of March 2025, ADC resolved to waive the two-year membership registration status to seek office.

Oga, 2 people cannot change a constitution. NEC does not have powers to change constitutions. You change constitutions at national conventions

I think the main reason why ADC will not win this case is because naftiu Gombe has the same assignment in ADC as wike in pdp, another reason is that inec and the judiciary are extension of apc, for ADC to survive, they Need to be ruthless, somebody has to bear the consequences of his actions, if they have ears let them hear

I am sure you and your cohorts will also say Tinubu planted him in ADC.

It is only in Nigeria party hijackers call those who are founding fathers Impostors.

They did same thing to Apapa of LP. But this ADC one don hook them for neck grin

1. Go to Article 9 of the ADC Constitution.
Again, this is an intra-party matter.
Again, be forgot to clean out the screenshot of Section 3(4);

2. You are confusing yourself. There must be an amendment before ratification.
As in all parties, there is a constitution review committee that submits its report to NEC, who amends (where necessary) and adopts before sending to the National Convention for ratification. It becomes a legal instrument after ratification!

From your own explanation, has the so called amendment been ratified by the party’s convention? If not, it simply means the party’s constitution has not been amended because the process has not been completed.

It has been amended, not ratified, however, it is an intra-party matter.
Only an ADC member who has an ambition for.party office can challenge same.

Sections 3 and 9 may seem to be in conflict with section 4. That is a court matter entirely.

This is what we are talking about. These people are fucking weak. Many of our youths who support their shenanigans don’t think. If they present them and Tinubu in 100 years I will always chose tinubu.

If it were Tinubu that wants to organize this coalition, let’s put him in Atikus shoes, this issue will never ever come to play. He would have done whatever needed to be done to stop any nonsense that will come up be it money or law!

He would have called his lawyers before forming anything with that ADC To clear the road, check for lacuna to use in case the someone or some people that may want to be funny.

But you Atiku and his “we no dey spend shishi” crooners are weak guys.

Amaechi will not spend his money on this shenanigans. He doesn’t believe in any of them over himself. He will not sacrifice.

People, for Obi to be president he must first seek support from his base who is who leaders but he won’t get it. Because most of those leaders in the EAST don’t believe in him.

Lol. I like how you lot are unravelling fast. Yesterday it was PDP, it is now ADC today. A day before it was Labour party. Be rest assured that ADC will be on the ballot come 2027 or Tinubu should prepare to declare himself the grand dictator of Lagos. He who thinks he's leading and has no one following is only taking a walk.

In other news, the candidate of the PDP in Kaduna in the 2023 gubernatorial elections, Isah Ashiru Kudan, will be picking his ADC membership card in his ward tomorrow. See you in 2027.

One of the most amusing things I’ve witnessed since Tinubu’s emergence is the cunning transformation of the APC and its hordes of supporters.

The same people notorious for disregarding the law, their party constitution and court rulings they didn’t like are now passionately telling others to obey the very laws they would have ignore and disobeyed

We all saw the recent APC elective convention, where aspirants paid for nomination forms only to be denied those same forms. One of the victims, Farah Dagogo, has taken the party to court, alleging that despite paying N5.1 million and meeting all requirements, he was denied the form for the National Vice Chairman (South) position. He is now seeking to halt the convention and is claiming N100 million in damages.

But if this had happened in an opposition party, APC supporters would be in a frenzy, flooding timelines with threads, hot takes, and performative outrage.

Hypocrisy at it's best

Until the proposed amendment is ratified by the convention, it has not been amended. The convention may refuse to ratify the proposed amendments.

Yes, only ADC members can challenge some of these things in court and that’s why Bala Gombe, a member of ADC is the one challenging the illegalities in court and not me.

Bala Gombe isn't even challenging eligibility.
But there are three other suits doing that!

Since, it's Party Offices you must show cause that your rights or intents to contest an office was breached. The last time I checked. ADC has no vacancy.

Amendment - An amendment is a formal change, addition, or correction made to a document, law, or contract to improve or update it.

It has not been ratified. IIT becomes binding once it is ratified.

Exactly what I said. It has not been ratified and so not binding at this point in time. The old constitution that stipulates 2 years for any member that wants to hold a party position subsist.

By the way, can you now tell us why your party has failed to go back to the trial court for a proper (accelerated) hearing of the case as ordered by the Appeal Court?

Since you’re also one of those arguing that the Appeal Court did not give any order that affected the David Mark camp, can you also tell us why David Mark appealed the judgement if it has no consequential effect on his leadership of the party?

Again, why is David Mark asking for a stay of execution of a judgment you all are claiming has no effect on him?

Why did David Mark fail to tell Nigerians at the comical press conference that he has filled an appeal and a stay of execution at the Supreme Court long before INEC implemented the court orders?

The people you're arguing with don't care about law or common sense. Nor do they care about how to make Nigeria a better place. Their aim is just to push their tribesman to the presidency. They'd put Sheikh Gumi or Bello Turji as vice president if that'd help them achieve that.
