The Supreme Court will on Thursday, April 30, 2036, will deliver judgments in lawsuits relating to leadership battles in the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Recall that the suits are now listed on the apex court’s website.
According to the update, while the ADC suit, marked SC/CV/180/2026, is slated for 2:00 pm, the time for the PDP case is not indicated.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had de-recognized the David Mark leadership of the ADC, citing a judgment by the Court of Appeal.
INEC also said it would not recognise Nafiu Bala Gombe, who had gone to court seeking to be made national chairman.
The Commission announced it will cease recognition of the duo and refrain from monitoring any conventions or congresses organised by their factions, pending the determination of the substantive suit before the court.
For the PDP, the Supreme Court is to decide on an appeal seeking validation of the outcome of the national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025.
The appellants, Taminu Turaki-led led faction, are specifically urging the apex court to set aside the judgments of the Abuja Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal, which nullified the conduct of the Ibadan national convention.
