The Federal High Court in Abuja has postponed judgment in a fresh suit seeking to restrain former Senate President, David Mark, and former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, from parading themselves as National Chairman and Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), respectively.
The judgment, which was initially scheduled for Monday, was shifted by 24 hours, leaving party members and supporters from both factions stranded at the court premises.
As early as 8 a.m., the courtroom was already filled with loyalists aligned with the contending groups, all awaiting the court’s decision on the matter.
The suit was instituted by a member of the House of Representatives from Kogi State, Hon. Leke Abejide.
Presiding over the case, Justice Musa Suleiman Liman announced the adjournment due to other pressing official engagements.
The decision was later formally conveyed to parties through the court registrar, a development that sparked visible frustration among supporters.
The leadership crisis within the ADC has continued to deepen, with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recently withdrawing recognition from the party’s leadership factions.
