The Labour Party (LP) and Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) have taken a swipe at the African Democratic Congress (ADC) over the party’s leadership crisis.
On Wednesday, the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) announced that it would no longer recognise the
ADC factions led by David Mark or Nafiu Bala Gombe, following its review of the
court of appeal judgement.
INEC said it would strictly abide by the orders of the court
of appeal in handling the leadership dispute within the ADC.
But the Mark-led faction rejected INEC’s
interpretation of the appellate court ruling, accusing the electoral body of
acting under external pressure.
The development means that ADC has no leadership recognised
by INEC.
NDC, LP TAKE SWIPE AT ADC
In an X post published on
Friday, the LP said the supreme court had settled its matter, urging Nigerians
to join the party.
“We are standing. Supreme Court already settled our matter.
What are you waiting for? Hoop(sic) in and let us rescue Nigeria together,” the
LP tweeted.
The newly registered Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) also
published a similar post on its X account.
The NDC said the
ADC is running out of time owing to the party’s leadership battles in court.
“ADC is already out of time. When case enters court, is(sic)
no longer within your control. Join NDC now,” NDC wrote.
The NDC was registered as a political party
by INEC in February 2026, while the leadership crisis in the LP was put to bed
by the supreme court in 2025 after a series of legal battles.
The electoral commission has now recognised Nenadi
Usman as the bona fide LP national chairperson.
