  "account": "The Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a purported resignation letter purportedly written by former African Democratic Congress Deputy National Chairman, Nafiu Bala, deeming it a fake. Justice Peter Lifu ruled that the disputed document, which the ADC faction led by former Senate President, David Mark, used to establish Bala's resignation, was not genuine. The court found that the signature on the purported resignation letter differed from those on Bala's sworn statements, leading to its rejection as reliable evidence. The judgment has further complicated the ADC's leadership crisis and raised questions about the party's 2027 electoral preparations.",
