The Federal High Court in Abuja has restrained INEC from recognising any state congresses conducted by committees appointed by the David Mark-led caretaker leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Delivering judgment on Wednesday, Justice Joyce Abdulmalik held that the responsibility for conducting state congresses rests with the party’s state executive committees, not the national leadership.

The court further ruled that the four-year tenure of the ADC’s State Working Committees and State Executive Committees remains valid and subsisting, pending the conduct of properly constituted congresses and the convocation of a national convention.

Justice Abdulmalik also held that neither the Nigerian Constitution nor the party constitution empowers the caretaker/interim National Working Committee, led by David Mark, to appoint committees to conduct state congresses.

The judgment is on the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/581/2026 filed by Don Norman Obinna, Johnny Tovie Derek, Obah C. Ehigiator, Hon. Olona Yinka, Dr. Charles Idowu Omideji, Samuel Pam Gyang, and Obianyo Patrick as plaintiffs, suing for themselves and on behalf of all State Chairmen and State Executive Committees of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

I THREATENED MY STAFF TO STOP GOING TO CHURCH OR ELSE I WILL SACK HIM, BUT HE QUIT INSTEAD

Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor Ladi Folarin has opened up about a past decision he now deeply regrets, revealing how it affected both his business and personal reflection on faith. In an interview with FeelRightNews TV, the actor recounted an experience from the time he managed a tea company, where a conflict arose between workplace expectations and an employee’s religious commitment. According to Folarin, he had employed a staff member who was a devoted member of Deeper Life Church. The employee maintained a consistent routine of leaving work every day at 6 p.m. to attend church services. While this practice was important to the worker, it frequently clashed with the demands of the business, especially during periods when supplies needed urgent attention. Folarin admitted that the situation became increasingly frustrating for him. Eventually, his dissatisfaction reached a breaking point, prompting him to confront the employee with a strict ultimatum. He demanded that the w...

Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has revealed that he once ordered a six-month investigation into popular cleric Jerry Eze over suspected money laundering, only for the probe to take an unexpected turn. Speaking at the Jerry Eze Foundation Business Grant Award Ceremony, Olukoyede said the commission acted on intelligence and petitions after noticing massive inflows into a domiciliary account linked to the pastor. “I investigated this man for six months. Yeah. For money laundering. We work by intelligence, we work by petitions,” he said. According to him, the transactions raised eyebrows due to their global origins. “At some point, I saw there was an account, a domiciliary account. Dollars, pounds were dropping in like raindrops, you know, from Colombia, from, you know, from America, from Sri Lanka, even from Togo.” Curious about the identity behind the account, he said, “I said, ‘Who is this man?’ they said, ‘This one, Pastor Jer...

"MEURER AND I WERE NEVER LEGALLY MARRIED; OUR UNION WAS MERELY AN INTRODUCTION," - OLAKUNLE CHURCHILL ADDRESSES DIVORCE RUMOURS.

Nigerian businessman Olakunle Churchill has dismissed reports claiming his relationship with actress Roseline Meurer has ended in divorce, describing the circulating story as false and misleading. In a statement shared on his official Instagram account, Churchill clarified that he and Meurer were never legally married, stressing that their union was limited to a traditional introduction ceremony—a cultural event that does not carry legal weight under Nigerian marriage law. "There is no legally recognised marriage. No church wedding and no court wedding. What we did was an introduction. Therefore, the idea of a 'divorce' is baseless from the beginning," he said. The businessman's response follows widespread rumours suggesting that Meurer had filed for divorce—claims that gained traction amid renewed public attention on Churchill's personal life following his recent reconciliation with ex-wife, actress Tonto Dikeh. Under Nigerian law, a marriage is l...
