The Supreme Court has scheduled April 22, 2026, to hear the appeal filed by Senator David Mark, National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in the ongoing leadership crisis rocking the party.
A five-member panel led by Justice Lawal Garba fixed the date after all parties adopted their processes in the appeal marked SC/CV/180/2026.
Mark is seeking an order to stay the execution of the Court of Appeal’s judgment delivered on March 12, 2026, which had dismissed his earlier appeal.
The dispute stems from a ruling by Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja on September 4, 2025, which refused some injunctive reliefs sought by Nafiu Bala Gombe, a former deputy national chairman of the ADC.
In the March 12 judgment, the Court of Appeal upheld objections that Mark’s appeal was incompetent.
The apex court’s decision on April 22 is expected to provide clarity on the leadership of the ADC ahead of future political activities.
