The Nigeria — Federal High Court of Nigeria in Abuja has scheduled April 14, 2026, to hear a suit filed by Nafiu Bala Gombe against the Nigeria — African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, Nigeria — Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and Ralph Nwosu. Gombe seeks to prevent the Sen. David Mark-led faction from acting as the party's leaders. The Nigeria — Nigerian Courts of Appeal previously ordered parties to maintain status quo, leading Nigeria — Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola's names from its portal as national chairman and secretary. David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola have filed motions to restore their names and dismiss the suit, arguing Nafiu Bala Gombe lacks standing due to his resignation and that the matter concerns internal party affairs. Rauf Aregbesola is also seeking N50 million in costs.
