The Federal High Court's Abuja division has set 14 April as the date to hear a case brought by Nafiu‑Bala Gombe. Gombe's filing seeks an order that would bar the African Democratic Congress's current leadership, headed by Senator David Mark, from presenting themselves as the party's official leaders. The suit also draws former governor Aregbesola into the dispute, with both Mark and Aregbesola contesting the action. Court notices have already been dispatched to the involved parties, signalling that the matter will be examined in a formal hearing soon. The outcome will determine whether the existing ADC hierarchy can continue to operate under the contested claim of authority.
