The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed an appeal filed by Shehu Gabam over the leadership dispute in the Social Democratic Party (SDP), confirming Prof Sadiq Gombe as the party's National Chairman. A five-member panel led by Justice Adamu Jauro dismissed the appeal as it had become irrelevant. The dispute over the SDP leadership had been ongoing, spanning Federal High Court, Court of Appeal, and reaching the apex court.
SDP National Chairman Sadiq Gombe hailed the judgment as a victory for the party and democracy, emphasizing the party's commitment to democratic governance. The party's presidential candidate and counsel for the party, Adewole Adebayo, noted that Gabam's appeal had no life, effectively ending his claim to the leadership. Adebayo stated that the Supreme Court dismissed the case, bringing an end to Gabam's claim.
The SDP continues to seek clarification on electoral commission's powers and ensure adherence to the law.
