Legal battle against David Mark, Aregbesola’s leadership of ADC resumes Sept 14

The legal battle between Senator David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, and the African Democratic Congress (ADC) leadership resumes in the Federal High Court in Abuja on September 14. The dispute involves the National Executive Committee of the party, led by former Senate President David Mark. The case, heard by Justice Peter Odo Lifu, resulted in a fine of N3 million for the defendants, who were deemed to have attempted to delay and obstruct the proceedings through numerous frivolous motions.

The suit, filed by Nafiu Bala Gombe and others, challenges the validity of Mark and Aregbesola's leadership of the ADC, citing violations of the party's constitution and electoral laws. The court hearing will begin at 9am on the day the 2026 annual vacation ends, with parties required to submit their briefs of argument prior to a final judgment being scheduled.
