The Supreme Court has nullified the status quo ante bellum order made by the Court of Appeal in Abuja in the leadership dispute of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The judgment restores the David Mark-led executive from its delisting by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). A five-member panel of justices, led by Justice Mohammed Lawal Garba, unanimously held on Thursday that the order issued by the Court of Appeal was unnecessary.

The apex court has further held that the appeal on jurisdiction was filed against an ex parte order inviting parties to show cause, without first obtaining leave from the appellate court.
