A new court document from is adding another twist to the ongoing crisis within the (ADC).

What the Document Shows

The court, presided over by Hon. Justice A.K. Tukur, has:

• Vacated its earlier ex-parte order issued on April 7, 2026

• Struck out the entire suit

• Ruled that it lacks jurisdiction over the matter

Key Reason

The court relied on provisions of the Electoral Act, stating clearly that:

• Internal affairs of political parties are not within the court’s jurisdiction

• Courts should not entertain or grant interim orders on such matters

What This Means

This decision effectively:

• Cancels any previous restrictions placed on ADC activities by that earlier order

• Reinforces the legal position that party disputes should be handled internally

• Adds fuel to the ongoing debate about courts interfering in party matters

The Bigger Irony

This ruling comes at a time when many politicians argue that courts should stay out of party affairs—yet continue to seek judicial intervention when it suits them.

Bottom Line

The court has stepped back, saying in clear terms:
“This is your party matter, go and resolve it yourselves.”

But knowing Nigerian politics… that may not be the end of the courtroom drama.
