The most interesting irony in Justice Lifu’s judgement is his insistence that the David Mark-Led leadership of ADC did not emerge by democratic election, yet he sanctioned the hostile and illegitimate takeover of ADC by the resigned Nafiu Bala. Which democratic election produced Bala as the National Chairman of ADC. Nafiu Bala, in his own affidavit, stated that his tenure expired on 11 October 2026. Justice Lifu gave an illegal order on 5 November 2026, after Bala’s tenure had expired, for Bala to take over ADC. Strange indeed. The question is which section of the 1999 Constitution or Electoral Act gave Bala the power to take over as National Chairman? None. Nafiu relied on the same ADC constitution to hijack the ADC with the unfortunate concurrence of Justice Lifu, yet Justice Lifu would discard the ADC constitution to de-recognise David Mark-Led leadership. This signifies that the subject matter of this suit is the internal affairs of ADC and, as such, non-justiciable. It is important to note that Justice Lifu had ruled in the case of the National Forum of Former Legislators v. ADC and 5 Ors that ADC should be deregistered without any legal basis. His decision has been quashed by the Court of Appeal. His latest judgement sounds like his old lyrics of trying to use the instrumentality of the law to achieve unlawful destruction of ADC just to prevent HE Atiku Abubakar from contesting the 2027 election in order for Tinubu to run unopposed. Read today's Sunday Sun back page column "Global Square" by Mr Kenneth Okonkwo. Happy Sunday, and God bless. Justice Peter Lifu’s judgement in Bala Nafiu Gombe V. ADC & share.google/52qTx15ZdAr4cT7… Judges will surely make a mockery of the judiciary if they do not hand off the internal affairs of political parties.
