Breaking: INEC recognises Mark-led ADC leadership, <\/p>\n

By Omeiza Ajayi<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has updated its official register of political party leadership to reflect former Senate President David Mark as national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), with former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola listed as the party\u2019s national secretary.<\/p>\n

The decision followed Thursday\u2019s ruling of the Supreme Court to that effect.<\/p>\n

As of 11 pm on Thursday, INEC\u2019s website showed Mark heading the ADC, with Aregbesola occupying the position of national secretary, Dr. Mani Ahmad as national treasurer, Akibu Dalhatu as national financial secretary, and Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor as national legal adviser.<\/p>\n

The apex court\u2019s ruling vacated a status quo ante bellum order that had previously frozen the leadership question and directed that related proceedings return to the Federal High Court.<\/p>\n
