The Supreme Court of Nigeria is set to hear separate appeals on Tuesday arising from leadership crises within two opposition parties, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
One of the appeals was filed by embattled ADC National Chairman, David Mark, who is seeking to halt the enforcement of a March 12 judgment of the Court of Appeal of Nigeria pending the determination of his case.
Mark’s appeal, listed as SC/CV/180/2026, is against Nafiu-Bala Gombe and four others, and is scheduled for hearing on April 14 in Abuja.
At the same time, the apex court will consider an appeal filed by a faction of the PDP backed by Seyi Makinde, led by Tanimu Turaki (SAN).
The Turaki-led group is challenging a Court of Appeal ruling that nullified its national convention and leadership structure.
The faction has argued that allowing the judgment to stand could destabilise the party, prompting it to seek a final ruling from the Supreme Court.
