This is starting to look desperate and pathetic! You claim you have ‘mass appeal’ and point to your 30+ governors and control of the national assembly as proof, yet you’re so terrified having a credible challenger to your godfather’s undeserved 2nd term ambition! You people are the definition of shamelessness!

Putindbutt:
In Summary:

1. There was an initial meeting where the seller( Ralph Nwosu) and the buyer( Atiku) exchanged commodities and David Mark was appointed the caretaker Chairman of ADC.

2. There was a follow up meeting of the NEC where the appointments of David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, Bolaji Abdullahi and others were ratified (adopted).

3. For there to be a change of leadership or appointment of new leadership of any party, INEC must be given atleast a mandatory 21days notice according to the electoral law. Failure to do so automatically renders such an exercise invalid.

4. ADC therefore failed to notify INEC before appointing David Mark as Chairman at the kangaroo meeting where they all stepped down and resigned and David Mark took over (only Nafiu Bala did not resign).

5. ADC only notified INEC of the NEC meeting where David Mark was ratified.

6. ADC also failed to submit specimen signatures of David Mark and Aregbesola.

So, the pictures and videos we saw in the media where they all gathered in Abuja was only to ratify the appointment of David Mark Committee. INEC was also there. But the important one where he was earlier appointed as Caretaker Chairman, INEC was not there because they were not notified.

I'm waiting for Nairaland SANs to come and tell INEC that they don't know law.
I hope opposition and their supporters go through this. Even if Tinubu is not doing well and he is to be removed, it must be done in a legitimate way not through crooked way using sentiments and blackmailing.You can't build something on nothing

Young man, are you the same as Putindbutt?
It looks like it, so I will engage you.
Please read my question again before answering, I did not say Amupitan nor Mahmood nor Jega nor Iwu, the word here is INEC.

Why did INEC put up David Mark's name in the first place on their website as ADC chairman?
Which criteria did they use knowing all they knew since July 2025?




TimeManager:
Mahmood Yakubu should take part of the blame, he did not recognize David Mark until a week or less than two weeks he was about to retire as INEC Chair. Why did he rush to recognize David Mark just a few days to his retirement?. Just to tie the hands of the new INEC Chairman.

-Kiss the truth!

The fact that I responded to your question shouldn't make you think that low ascribing to someone else, this is a public forum.
I already gave my opinion in my comments. Mahmood Yakubu should not have rushed to recognize David Mark just a few days to his retirement. He was there all along and never recognized him.

TINUBU, INEC, pls leave ADC alone. Leave grammar and leave opposition alone. Don't be afraid, your rigging plan is still formidable and in tact. You will still succeed this time again. Don't panic

Tinubo is making a very big mistake, him and his tribe will regret it forever in future 😒
What would his tribe regrets if I may ask? The tribe is bigger than him and whatever he did it is done as a president of Nigeria and not of his tribe. Babangida and Abacha did worse and nothing happened to their tribe. So if you're looking forward to seeing Yoruba tribe to regret because their son govern Nigeria you are only waiting for a crab's blink

Summary


1. A memo from INEC reveals that the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by David Mark, is invalid due to violations of the Electoral Act.
2. The memo, dated August 6, 2025, highlights that ADC failed to provide the required 21 days’ notice for the meeting that formed the caretaker committee, violating Section 82(5) of the Electoral Act.
3. The ADC did not submit records of the meeting or the effective date for the caretaker committee's implementation, and failed to provide specimen signatures of the caretaker chairman and secretary.
4. The memo suggests that INEC should await the submission of names and specimen signatures of the new leadership and the proposed effective start date.
5. The ADC's 2022 constitution allows the caretaker committee to exercise NEC powers until the next NEC meeting, but the memo indicates the caretaker committee's appointment was not a product of the NEC meeting.
6. The NEC meeting minutes show that the caretaker committee's appointment was ratified after the fact, with David Mark as chairman, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola as secretary, and Bolaji Abdullahi as publicity secretary.
7. The ADC Constitution grants the National Working Committee powers to perform NEC functions pending ratification, but the memo questions the legitimacy of the caretaker committee's formation.

If you are an opposition party with credible threat to be ruling party, make sure you leave no stone unturned in your dealings with the law, for laws and rules normally overlooked or rarely enforced will be enforced against you.

ADC is filled with supposedly experienced politicians, maybe this is a new experience for them. I wish them and APC good luck.

I gave up hope on politicians the day the people brought to power through the Obidient wave jumped ship the next day.

Nigerian politicians are what they are, "nigerian politicians". There's none of them you will offer me their brain and I will lick it. There brains are full of shit

Most Nigerian are so blinded by the fact that they want Tinubu out that they are not scrutinizing the actions of the opposition . They only stcritinize that of the ruling party .
And the opposition too have assume an invincible role that they should get away with every irregularities

When did David Mark become a member of ADC that he was made Chairman ? ADC constitution stipulates that a member must have spent two year in the party for him/ her to become the chairman . David Mark was made chairman the same day he joined ADC.
This is politics , its a game of the smartest . You people were smart to lure Aregbesola , , Amaechi El' Rufai from APC but youv dont think ApC will hit back at you .
You guys must be joking . Its gonna be a long ride

They will not want to say INEC didn't know law this time because the person that said omotosho didn't know law is now in Sokoto law school. Lolz
