ADC crisis rooted in internal legal disputes — Lawyers

Nigerian lawyers Inibehe Effiong and Bodunde Opeyemi attribute the ongoing leadership crisis within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to internal legal processes and binding court rulings. Effiong criticized the legal strategy of the faction led by David Mark as procedurally flawed. Opeyemi traced the crisis back to a leadership contest following a party meeting in July 2025, noting that the situation is likely to persist until the Federal High Court delivers a final judgment.
