₦airaland Forum

The Federal High Court in Abuja has affirmed Senator David Mark as the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), dismissing a suit filed by Representative Leke Abejide challenging the party’s leadership.

Justice Musa Liman, in a judgment delivered on Thursday, upheld the preliminary objections filed by the ADC, former National Chairman Ralph Nwosu, David Mark and the party’s National Secretary, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, ruling that the suit lacked merit.

The court held that it lacked jurisdiction to interfere in the internal affairs of a political party and found that Abejide failed to establish that his rights were violated by the emergence of the Mark-led leadership.

Justice Liman further ruled that the handover of the party’s leadership from Nwosu to Mark did not contravene the ADC Constitution.

According to the court, the stakeholders’ meeting held on July 2, 2025, was followed by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on July 29, 2025, which validly produced David Mark as National Chairman and Aregbesola as National Secretary.

The judge declared that the emergence of both leaders complied with the ADC Constitution, the Electoral Act and other relevant legal provisions.

The court also awarded ₦2 million each in costs to all the defendants, to be paid by Abejide.

In addition, Justice Liman awarded ₦10 million in costs against Abejide’s counsel in line with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

Abejide had asked the court to nullify the leadership handover to Mark and Aregbesola and restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising them.

The target wasn't ADC the target was Obi.
So rest he dodged it. So rest. Let the ancestor keep accumulating wealth that he will not make use of.

Have u ask urself this question?
How long is he going to live on this earth?
Who is he keeping all these wealth for?

Why do u support somebody that u can not trace his source of wealth.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.
