The Supreme Court, meanwhile, directed Senator Mark to return to the federal high court for the hearing and determination of issues arising from the leadership dispute within the ADC.
The ADC spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, said the ruling is a clear affirmation that the ADC structures and its leadership under Senator Mark and Ogbeni Aregbesola are legitimate.
“We commend the five-man panel of the Supreme Court, whose unanimous judgment has today done great credit to the judiciary in our country and our political system.”
He made this known in a statement issued via his X handle @BolajiADC on Thursday, April 30, 2026.
Abdullahi said the ADC welcomes the apex court judgement, but do not mistake it for the end of the struggle.
The ADC spokesperson said the previous events have exposed a troubling pattern of interference to weaken opposition voices in Nigeria.
"Let it be clearly stated: the ADC will not be intimidated, distracted, or silenced. We remain resolute in our mission to provide Nigerians with a credible alternative."
The opposition coalition urged all party members, supporters, and democratic stakeholders to remain vigilant.

Congratulations to all the ADC members across the country, the party that'll send Tinubu back to his house?

It’s not over yet, you people are falling into their trap, a short victory to be stroked out later.
@Yusufmoses2
Based on the Supreme Court trap called judgment, today, concerning the ADC. My only advice is for Peter Obi and Kwankwaso to resign from ADC and move over to another neutral party quickly. and fast. Because the judgment of today is just a trap for ADC.
@crypto10117
Congratulations on the Supreme Court victory affirming Sen. David Mark & Aregbesola. But how do we remove the trap set by the FHC? The matter is returning there for further proceedings — what’s the strategy to neutralize that and get full INEC recognition + control of structures without more delays? This win must not be pyrrhic. Clear steps needed pls.
