BREAKING: Appeal Court Restrains INEC From Recognizing David Mark-Led ADC Congresses

 


ABUJA, NIGERIA— In a major judicial pronouncement, the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja has officially affirmed the lower court's judgment restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognizing or participating in any state congresses organized by the David Mark-led leadership faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).


In a split decision of two-to-one delivered on Monday, the appellate court upheld the earlier ruling delivered by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court in Abuja on April 29, 2026. 

Senator David. Mark 


The ruling serves as a significant blow to the Mark-led faction, legally tying the hands of the electoral umpire from validating any leadership structures or congresses produced under their watch. This development is expected to heavily impact the internal political dynamics of the ADC as the legal and political battles for the soul of the party continue.

EDITORIAL: The Looming Crisis in Saki—How Land Grabbers and Compromised Security are Killing Genuine Investment and Industrialization in Oke-Ogun

Image
By The Scribe | Ayekooto Media The Land document handed over to Amb. David and The Foreign Partner A dark cloud is gathering over Saki, the commercial nerve center of the Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State. What should be a thriving hub for agricultural investment, value-chain development, and industrialization is unfortunately, rapidly degenerating into a zone of lawlessness, banditry, thuggery, and intimidation. Alarmingly, this descent into chaos is seemingly being aided by complicit and complacent law enforcement officers employed by the government to protect life and property. At the center of this brewing storm is the harrowing ordeal of Magdavies Nigeria Limited, chaired by Ambassador David Adejuwon. As a genuine investor of Oke-Ogun extraction, he brought legitimate foreign investors and technical partners from Hungary, Canada, and Taiwan to Saki East and Saki West. Their mission was to establish mechanized farms and a quarry industry to create jobs, generate wealth, reduce poverty, an...

The Grassroots in Chains: The Tragic Paralysis of Local Government Administration in Oyo State

Image
 By David Alani Ige,(The Scribe)  Publisher, Ayekooto Media                       In Oyo State today, a quiet but devastating tragedy is unfolding. It is not happening in the polished corridors of the State Secretariat in Agodi, nor is it visible in the multi-billion naira infrastructure projects dotting the capital city. This tragedy lives in the pothole-riddled streets of our inner towns, the crumbling primary healthcare centers, and the terrifying security breaches in rural communities like Oriire.  The tragedy is the total, calculated paralysis of Local Government Administration in the Pacesetter State.  For years, the 33 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 35 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Oyo State have been reduced to mere administrative appendages of the state government. They are local governments in name only—stripped of financial independence, devoid of political willpower, and fundamentally ...
