You can read but can't understand.
It is stated up there that David Mark's lawyer had withdrawn the stay of of execution request and whenever a case is withdrlawn by the appellant ,it is the courts normal procedure to strike out the case as if in normal dismissal.
Always resist the urge to shalaye.

This one doesn't even know it's th ADC who applied that the matter be withdrawn.

ADC is just using the heads of their supporters like grinding machine.
APC are the one causing all the chaos this parties are facing.

Look at them forming busy as if they have any work to do other than to collect bribes and read out whatever judgment the ruling party hands over to them to read.....very shameful of Nigerian judiciary to have allowed politicians to desecrate our justice system and turned to the ruling party's political tool, shame shame!! angry

[quote author=seunmsg post=139097778]Supreme Court Dismisses David Mark's Application for Stay of Execution

The Supreme Court has dismissed an application for stay of execution of an Appeal Court ruling that led to the decision of electoral body, INEC to derecognize the Senator David Mark leadership of the Action Democratic Congress, ADC.

This dismissal by the Apex Court on Tuesday followed the withdrawal of the application by senator Mark's counsel Jibril Okutekpa, SAN.

Okutekpa had informed the five-member apex court panel headed by Justice Lawal Garba that INEC's interpretation of the Court of Appeal decision on March 12 has made the party 'leaderless.'

He says the 'injunctive order' for the aggrieved parties to maintain 'status quo antebellum' is the reason for the current leadership vacuum in the ADC. He prayed the court for urgent action in view of the time constraints in the lead up to next year's crucial polls.

In its intervention, the apex court gave procedural directions to fast-track the process, including abridging time for filing briefs and responses, due to the time-sensitive nature of the matter, ahead of the 2027 elections.

It scheduled the substantive hearing of the appeal for Tuesday, April 22, 2026.

The original dispute stems from a suit by Nafiu-Bala Gombe (former Deputy National Chairman), who is challenging the legitimacy of Mark and Aregbesola’s leadership. INEC has withheld recognition of either faction pending court resolution of the leadership tussle.

Gombe sought, among other things, to restrain Mark (as National Chairman), Rauf Aregbesola (as National Secretary), and others from parading as ADC leaders, and to stop INEC from recognizing them.

On or around April 1, 2026, INEC removed Mark and Aregbesola's names from its portal as National Chairman and Secretary, citing the Appeal Court's "status quo" order and related correspondence.

will confuse you and still confuse you 😜

After how many years as Senate President egbon no want rest from politics. Youth better not support this old man that won’t give us space.
The youths are not ready to take over leadership of this so called country, they are divided politically.

Some youths can die because of Tinubu.
Some youths can die because of Obi,
Some youths can die because of El rufai
ETC, ETC, ETC.

Until youths believed these politician are the same rouges.

So you don't want Tinubu to contest against Obi in 2027?

Stay of Execution dismissed. The decision of the Court of Appeal stands. The main appeal will also be dismissed. David Mark should return the stolen mandate back to Bala Gombe.

The APC anti-Democratic state capture agents in the Judiciary, Legislature and executive are bent destroying every vestige of democracy in this country.

The ant-infested firewoods they are fetching would have them play host to lizards and other reptiles big enough to swallow them.

That's the action expected by the Supreme Court since the ADC lawyer has withdrawn the application based on the status quo antebellum judgment by the Appeal Court. The case is back to the High Court

Why are these opposition going to court in the first place, it is illegal for the judiciary to be involved in any matter that has to do with the leadership of a political party, all those court sittings are unknown to our constitution, any pronouncement from those judges are illegal and has no binding on anyone

Every sensible person knows their claims have no grand before the law. It’s just sad the kind of lazy politicians that called themselves opposition especially that third class Agulu man that’s always looking for shortcuts.

To be a formidable opposition you must be smarter that the ruling party but currently in Nigeria the reverse is the case.
Exactly! Very lazy and unintelligent set of so-called politicians
