The Adamawa State High Court IX has entertained a suit filed by the 'sacked' state executives of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), who are seeking a return to office. The former executives, led by Shehu Yohanna, are challenging their removal by a new steering committee put in place by the national leaders of the party ¹ ² ³.
The plaintiffs claim their removal was unlawful and are asking the court to reverse it, citing it was done without due process. The defendants, including Umar Sulaiman, Sadiq Dasin, and Senator David Mark, have filed a preliminary objection challenging the court's jurisdiction, arguing it's an internal party dispute ⁴ ⁵ ⁶.
The court has adjourned the case to November 20, 2025, for further hearing, ordering the defendants to file their statement of defence ¹ ² ³.
