ADC

The ruling was delivered on Wednesday by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja. In her judgement, Justice Abdulmalik held that the authority to organise and conduct state congresses of the party lies with the ADC’s State Executive Committees and not with the national leadership. The court therefore restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising any state congress organised by committees set up by the caretaker or interim National Working Committee.
