Appeal Court upholds order stopping INEC from recognising ADC state congresses

News

In a split decision of two Justices to One, the Court of Appeal in Abuja has dismissed an appeal filed by the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola against the judgment of the Federal High Court in Abuja which stopped them from dissolving the States Working Committees (SWC) of the ADC.

The Appellate Court in the split judgments on Monday evening imposed a fine of N10m on them to be paid to the State Chairmen for violating the ADC Constitution to scuttle the four-year tenure of the chairmen.

Justices Okon Abang and Donatus Okorowo delivered the majority judgment while the Presiding Justice Abba Bello Mohammed delivered the minority judgment.
