The Court of Appeal (Nigeria) has reportedly removed former Senate President, David Mark, as the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), affirming Nafiu Bala as the authentic leader of the party.
The appellate court ruling is said to have resolved a leadership crisis that had divided the party, with the judges recognising Bala as the legitimate national chairman with authority to manage the party’s affairs.

The development has also attracted attention due to Bala’s perceived political closeness to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a factor observers say could affect future political alignments.
As of the time of filing this report, David Mark had not issued an official response to the ruling.
Political analysts, however, say the judgment may trigger further legal or political steps from factions that previously backed Mark’s leadership.
With the court affirming Bala as chairman, observers believe the party may now move to stabilise its leadership after months of internal disagreements while stakeholders monitor how different factions within the party respond to the verdict.
