ADC members protest delayed release of judgment sacking Mark-led NWC

Members of the African Democratic Congress gathered at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, protesting the delay in releasing the Certified True Copy of the judgment that invalidated their party's leadership under former Senate President David Mark. The protest called on the National Judicial Council to intervene, claiming that Justice Peter Lifu had withheld the judgment delivered on November 5, thus preventing them from appealing the decision to the Court of Appeal.

Tijani, a former ADC chairman, described the judgment as "a sham" and urged the judge to release the certified copy, stating that the Supreme Court had already affirmed Mark's leadership. The protester's petition, dated November 10, demanded immediate release of the judgment, citing the Constitution's provision for written decisions and party appeal rights.
