Between ADC, INEC And Rule Of Law

Image
By Thomas Akor Since the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) suspended recognition of all leadership factions in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following a ruling by the Court of Appeal and ongoing litigation over the party’s leadership, the polity has been on edge. That is understandable given the status of the party as an emerging opposition platform. In a statement by its spokesperson, Mohammed Haruna, the electoral commission hinged its decision on an order by the Court of Appeal. In obedience to the court order, the commission decided to stop engaging with any of the two warring factions until there is a substantive court judgement after it received conflicting letters demanding recognition from both sides. Pointedly, the judgement did not favour the faction led by David Mark, prompting INEC to decline recognition of his chairmanship. The point, then, is that the court ruling of the Appeal Court undermines the legitimacy of David Mark’s leadership, and INEC’s p...

The APC National Vanguard has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support a second term in office for Siminalayi Fubara, citing what it described as “impressive and verifiable developmental strides” across Rivers State.
