The National Executive Committee Chairmen Forum of the ADC loyal to Gombe has threatened to embark on a nationwide protest against INEC if it fails to comply with the court judgment on the party’s leadership crisis.
The forum also called on INEC to immediately replace the names of Senator David Mark and members of his dissolved Interim National Working Committee on its portal with those of Nafiu Bala Gombe and other party officials it described as legally recognised.
It also urged the Commission to reopen its portal to enable it conduct fresh primaries, where necessary, and upload its candidates for the 2027 general elections.
The Secretary of the forum, Kennedy Odion, made the demands while addressing journalists in Abuja on Friday.
Odion described the ruling as a vindication of the forum’s position that the Mark-led leadership was not constitutionally recognised.
“We, the only legally recognised NEC members, accept in its entirety the judgment declaring our own Alhaji Nafiu Bala Gombe the authentic national chairman of the ADC.
“Failure to comply with this latest judgment will leave us no option but to proceed with our planned nationwide protest against the electoral umpire. Nigeria is for all of us. No individual, however highly placed, is above the law,” Odion said.
