Court Sacks Nwosu-led ADC Executives
Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court, on Tuesday removed the Chief Ralph Nwosu led leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The court also nullified all actions taken by executives from the Aug. 21, 2022 till date.
The Court in its ruling affirmed the leadership of Sen. Patricia Akwashiki.
ADC has been enmeshed in crisis as a faction loyal to Dumebi Kachikwu, the party presidential candidate and another loyal to Nwosu had been at war over the control of the party for some months now.
A faction loyal to the presidential candidate had announced the sack of Kachikwu as the party’s presidential candidate in August.
However loyalists of the presidential candidate in retaliation also announced the appointment of Akwashiki as Caretaker chairman of the party.
They also inaugurated a seven-member Caretaker Committee to steer the affairs of the Party ahead of the 2023 poll.
