The Federal High Court, Abuja, has fixed April 14 for the hearing of a suit filed by one Nafiu-Bala Gombe seeking to stop the former Senate President, David Mark, and others from parading themselves as leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Justice Emeka Nwite fixed the date following the hearing notices issued to parties in the suit.
Gombe, in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025, had listed ADC, Mark, former Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Chief Ralph Nwosu as defendants in the suit.
Justice Nwite had, at the last hearing date, adjourned the case sine die (indefinitely) to await the decision of the Court of Appeal.

The judge adjourned the matter indefinitely after counsel for the defendants informed the court of an appeal filed against the lower court order.
However, the Appeal Court, in its March 12 judgment, ordered the parties to go back to the trial court and maintain status quo ante bellum pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.
INEC had on April 1 removed the names of Mark and Aregbesola from its official portal and website as ADC’s national chairman and national secretary respectively.
