Rauf Aregbesola, National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has approached the Court of Appeal, seeking to overturn the Federal High Court judgment that nullified the David Mark-led leadership of the party.
Aregbesola argued that the Federal High Court lacked jurisdiction to determine the leadership dispute and asked the appellate court to set aside the November 5 judgment delivered by Justice Peter Lifu.
He also filed a separate application seeking a stay of execution of the judgment pending the determination of his appeal.
The judgment had nullified the Mark-led caretaker committee and its decisions, including the process that produced Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
