S’Court nullifies ruling on ADC leadership crisis, sends party back to trial court

The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed the decision of the Court of Appeal ordering parties to maintain status quo antebellum in the leadership dispute within the African Democratic Congress (ADC)

The Supreme Court however maintained that the appellate court was right in ordering parties to return back to the Federal High court where party leadership tussle exists.

On the issue of jurisdiction, the Supreme Court faulted the appellant, noting that the apex court has the jurisdiction to entertain appeals from the lower court, citing section 233 of the 1999 constitution.

The apex court ordered parties involved in the ADC leadership dispute to go back to the trial court.
