ADC crisis: No one is above the party constitution, Nafiu Bala tells Mark-led executive

Nafiu Bala Gombe, national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), praised the Federal High Court judgment in the party leadership dispute, case FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025. He said party leaders must be selected through procedures set out in the party constitution and the law, rather than by imposition or political expediency. Gombe argued that courts must intervene when parties disregard their own rules and commended the judge for acting independently of political pressure. He said the ruling also affirmed the right of aggrieved party members to seek redress in court.
