INEC chairman said they obeyed court order of status quo ante bellum; and they said it’s going back to as things were before the ‘war’.

But before the war, ADC had leadership.

How come after the war ADC no longer has leadership?

Lamidi Apapa did more than this. Where is he told?

Nafiu Gombe will pass away too.
Lamidi Apampa is one of the few reasons Peter Obi chickened out of Labour Party.
Also, baba Lamidi is in the Bahamas, chilling, enjoying his mulla, after obliterating PO and his minions outta the Labour Party.

Hope this answers your question?

God bless you bro. Atiku is fond of hijacking party structures to his advantage.

What's wrong with settling all the leadership of adc before taking over the structure. They didn't even carry the former presidential candidate along in the person of dumebi kachukwu. That's very very wrong
Is that how Obi hijacked the communist LP labourer's party in 2023 huh

By the way, any idea what happened to Lamidi Apapa?

The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.

Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."

The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.

"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.

"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.

"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.

"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.

Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.

The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.

You're welcome. All these shenanigans by the ruling party is just to slow the momentum of the ADC. They have no case. In the meantime, Nigerians continue to flood the ADC in record numbers. "The guy is gone!"

Since Nafiu bala Gombe want to be national chairman of ADC.. then let David mark resign and Nafiu bala Gombe take up the position of national chairman and the case withdrawn from the court then ADC move on and plan towards 2027 election and present a presidential candidate for 2027 election.. time is against them

there is nothing personal about all this , it is all politics , and politics has never been a fair game . it is all about interest , dont have it in mind that those in the opposition are aiming for power because of you and i .
secondly , the opposition were caught in their own game and this clearly shows how inexperience they are . how can you woo the chairman without wooing everyone else ? if tinubu was in their shoes , he would have made sure that every single member was bought over to the extent that they wont even be able to raise any objection .
i am very disappointed in atiku particularly , seems he is just keen on ticket ticket . what apc has done is the oldest and cheapest political trick , find the loophole and use it .

Why did Mark and his group of usurpers appealed the injunction if it had favoured them even before INEC recognised them initially?

Nafiu bala gombe, you have simply done great damage to your reputation, integrity and personality by telling the whole world an obvious and childish lie to cover up a criminal behavior.

You said the occasion was to present the members of the coalition , and that were not aware of any other arrangements?.

Why did you resign ahead of the meeting?

Why did you accept to vacate your seat and seat in the hall instead of seating as the Deputy vice chairman?

Why didn't you protest and work out of the meeting the moment you heard that the ceremony is going against your expectations?

Why did it take you so long to declare yourself an alternative chairman? , apparently after you have been recruited and rewarded by tinubu.

Nafiu bala, you must stop this neferous activities against democracy and allow ADC to breathe and continue its work as a viable alternative to tinubu and APC.

Nigerians will hold you personally accountable if democracy crashes in Nigeria.

I have always said it, thinking logically is not really your turf.
How did any of the statements here make sense?

The question remains, how did strangers suddenly become the chairman of an existing party that has laid down rules for succession?

The APC you referenced, was there any of them that came from another party to come and hijack?

Kukutente23:
The purpose changed according to your pocket lining right?


But it was the NEC that appointed them. Or how did the past 3 chairmen and present chairman of your APC emerge? Were they members of your NWC before they became chairmen and secretary?
It's always easy for APC folks to pontificate for others when they are doing far worse in their own corner

That is their prerogative but be rest assured that they will. How would the ADC have become this popular if they had rushed to do so? They needed to show Nigerians and the world, the level of Tinubu's antidemocratic tendencies and desperation. It's an open and shut case. Tell Tinubu to prepare for elections. The document above puts an end to all your shenanigans.
I doubt if you understand anything about the politics and law you dive into.

This externally influenced crisis is free advert for the adc. Perhaps it's something that will backfire right in the faces of the instigators. It is now left for the adc to harness the widespread sympathy from across Nigeria and transform this to popular support. Obviously, there is voter fatigue that will transpire in the presidential election for the APC in 2027. Beyond that, Tinubu has nothing to campaign with. That said, with many of the Muslim clerics speaking out against the government with more boldness presently, it tells you just one thing.
Most of those clerics supported Atiku and many other clerics are pro APC. It evens itself out. The core north is a tug of war

What was the ADC leadership recognized by INEC before the War?

Remember, before the WAR (2nd September, 2025) David Mark was not recognized by INEC and thus did not appear on the INEC portal.

David Mark Name started appearing on the INEC portal on the 10th of September 2025 after it was approved on the 9th of September 2025.

So naturally, INEC should recognize Nwosu and Nafiu because, as at 2nd September, these were the recognized personalities by INEC.

And if Nwosu claimed he had resigned before then, then the mantle of leadership passes to Nafiu Gombe.

David Mark could not assume leadership because there was no congressional election that brought him to power.

David Mark was not even a member of ADC until the day he and Rauf Aregbesola stole the mantle.

Summary: ADC WILL NOT BE ON THE BALLOT!

You can cr.y us a river. It does not matter.

2027 shall come and pass, and tinubu will lead till 2031.

They violated several 48 Laws of Power:

Law 5: So Much Depends on Reputation - Guard It With Your Life: Mark, Obi, Aregbe, Amaechi, Elrufai and Malami are people of questionable characters. They als forged registration letter for Nafiu. Imagine!!!

Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions: The leadership transition and alleged resignation appear to have been handled in a way that left too much exposed. The forged letter, the messy public denial and competing narratives have revealed too much internal weaknesses!!!

Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally: The Mark side did not fully neutralise Gombe's claim before moving forward with the INEC ratification. Too much loopholes.

ETC.


Stop the emotion.

AMINDA:
Lol. Are you having a laugh? He was present when all these decisions were taking place in the presence of INEC as his appended signature clearly shows but he was not aware of the proceedings of same meeting that took place in his presence? I have always suspected that he is that slow but don't expect the rest of us to be. In any case, that's his loss. The NEC is the highest decision making organ of any political party. Tell Tinubu to prepare for elections. He must meet his opponents at the ballot whether he likes it or not.
Then go to court and proof your point. INEC is not a Court. The electoral body is the most stubborn body in Nigeria when it comes to obeying court orders. Public outcry and propaganda will NEVER work when it comes to INEC. Did you know that if a Court order INEC to return Bala as the true Chairman of ADC on Monday INEC will comply and if another Court order INEC on Tuesday to recognize David Mark INEC will equally comply?
Crying all over the place won't be to your advantage. Don't forget there are over 20 political parties that will take part in the coming elections. No one will miss the absence of ADC. Once any other party participate in the elections you guys can't claim opposition parties didn't participate because it's not by force to take part if you can't meet the requirements.

Oga, stop the unnecessary explanations. We all know the highest bidder got you. At least, you can make a lot of money for your yourself while these rhetorics last.

This is a new way of "enjoying the national cake" Why do you think other political parties are inviting the "opposition" to join them? They know once these opposition elements join them, the government will come calling, and either Chairman or Secretary will be bought over, depending on who is smarter. Then a new faction will arise. It is called Democracy of factions. 😂

AMINDA:
Here's INEC's oath before the court of law affirming that they were present when the ADC NEC ratified Mark and Aregbe as leaders of the party and reminding the courts that no court has jurisdiction over the internal affairs of a party.
So, why are the ADC guys attacking INEC and asking the chairman to resign? undecided

ADC should simply have asked for expedited trial of the case and argued their case rather than appealing.
Now, that the higher court has given an order and INEC is complying, suddenly 'Amupitan must Go'.

If you create loopholes for your enemies to exploit, and they do, why turn around to cry foul?

ADC can port to NDC and continue their coalition there, next time they won't go and steal other people's platform.

They will do it in due time, they don't need to speak to the media or press. Pro government influencers are usually silent while opposition are loud like Obidients. It doesn't mean they have a majority, there's what we call the silent majority. While you condemn APC, it is clear the adc is not the solution so there's a stalemate. At the right time, the government supporters will make a decisive move
Re: I was present at David Mark's unveiling But The Purpose Changed - Nafiu Bala by energy37: 10:51am On Apr 07
With all the evidence presented, your problem is Tinubu. Is it Tinubu that will arrange ADC and ensure that the members obey the constitution of their party and that of Nigeria. Is that how APC was formed in 2014? Try to be objective even when those ADC leaders you are following will eventually lead you to the lagoon.
Daguccizgreat:
Tinubu has 32 Governors in his party yet he's dead scared of ADC. That's a clear evidence of total failure as president

Did we read the same thing? He was there to welcome Aregbe and Mark to ADC. Suddenly Nwosu resigned, after I guess seeing the alert, as did the then chairman.

They pulled the rug from right under his feet without sending him any alert and they don't want him to cry out, how is that fair? On top of that, they are now doing monitoring spirit on top of his matter.

If this ADC mistakenly gets to power ẹhn, we don enter one chance finish for dis country bí dat.

seunmsg:
INEC is a party to the case and they simply defended their decision to recognize the David Mark faction. That they filed this position before the court does not mean they are right and it doesn’t mean the court must accept their position.


In this case, the court has given a preservative order for all parties to cease any action until the FHC decides the matter. So, all parties including INEC are not supposed to head back to the FHC and make all their arguments. And what did you guys do? You stalled that process and took the case again to the Supreme Court. You even asked for a stay of execution of the preservative order. That’s, keep us illegally in office while we stall the process till it’s too late for the FHC to decide the case due to INEC timetable.


In law, that’s an abuse of court process. You can’t get away with such nonsense. David Mark will not be recognized until the FHC rules on the matter. No matter the media noise, propaganda and blackmailing, INEC will never disobey the court order. Go back to Justice Nwite and show cause why Bala Gombe should not be declared the National Chairman. Period.

It's not about speaking. Even a mad man can speak. It's about conviction. Jonathan had people who could speak for him. We all know how it ended. The adc won't have been on people's lips if the govt had done average. People are naturally pivoting towards alternatives because they believe nothing can be worse than what we have now.
