African Democratic Congress ( ADC) will be on Ballot – David Mark Assures
The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, has assured party members that the party will participate fully in the 2027 general elections, dismissing concerns over ongoing legal challenges.
Speaking Wednesday night after receiving a briefing from the party’s legal team on a recent judgment by the Federal High Court in Abuja, Mark expressed confidence that the party would overcome all litigations.
“You do not have anything to be afraid of regarding all the litigations before the party,” he said.
“I want to assure you that we shall triumph in all the cases, and we shall be on the ballot for every election.”
He added that the party was fully prepared to pursue all legal options. “We are more than ready for these cases and will do everything within the ambit of the law to surmount every situation,” Mark stated, pledging to personally lead the party through the legal process.
The ADC’s legal team has already initiated an appeal against the judgment and filed for a stay of execution, signaling the party’s determination to challenge the ruling.
Mark’s reassurance came as the party intensifies preparations for the 2027 elections, a period seen as critical for consolidating its political footing.
Party officials say the development is expected to boost confidence among members and supporters while reinforcing the ADC’s resolve to remain a key contender.
Earlier, the legal team briefed Mark and other party leaders on the implications of the court decision and outlined strategies for the cases ahead.
A good governance Advocate, Shehu Gazali Sadiq, has threatened that there would be no election in the northern part of the country if the African Democratic Congress, ADC is not on the ballot.
In a post on his verified X handle, Sadiq declared that the safety of any northerner, who comes out to vote may not be guaranteed.
He wrote, “If ADC is not on the ballot, there will be no election in Northern Nigeria.
“If you come out to vote, whatever you see accept it. This is both a threat and a warning”.
The post which generated over one thousand shares and 90 thousand reach, attracted party supporters, who yielded to the warning.
This is coming a few hours before the Supreme Court rules on the leadership crisis threatening ADC’s chances of participating in the coming election.
The newly inaugurated Action Peoples Party (APP) Imo State chapter, has dismissed the purported nullification of party’s nationwide congresses by a Federal High Court sitting in Gusau, Zamfara state.
The report alleged that the court presided over by Justice Hamza Mohamed nullified all conducted and supervised congresses by the national office of APP led by Barrister Uchenna Nnadi, which by implication, affects the lmo state chapter.
Imo state chapter of the party had on Sunday, April 2026, with other states of the federation conducted its congress that produced Hon. Ernest Njesi as the state Chairman and other officers.
The state Publicity Secretary of the party, Ambassador Steve Nnadi in a statement issued on Wednesday night, stated no judgement or exparte order exists or emanates from any court in Zamfara state.
He stated that it was important to clarify that no court nullified APP congresses nationwide, including Imo state chapter, or deregistered APP.
Imo APP members and the general public should ignore and disregard the fake news from the pit of hell which is the handiwork of All Progressive Congress, APC-led government of Imo state.
“It is indeed a cacophony and blabbing of an outgoing failed government which must not be taken seriously in its entirety.
“To this end, let it be clear that the federal high court in Zamfara state lacks jurisdiction to entertain such exparte motion brought by a faceless Kelechi Anyanwu unknown to the party,” he said.
