A federal high court in Abuja has restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising or participating in any state congresses organised by a caretaker leadership of the African Democratic Congress, African Democratic Congress (ADC).
In a judgment delivered on Wednesday, Joyce Abdulmalik, presiding judge, held that the four-year tenure of the ADC’s state working committees and state executive committees remains valid and subsisting, pending the conduct of properly constituted congresses and the convocation of a national convention.
The court held that neither the constitution of Nigeria nor the party’s constitution empowers the caretaker/interim national working committee, led by David Mark, former senate president, to appoint committees to conduct state congresses.
