ABUJA– The planned speedy hearing of the suit seeking to remove the Senator David Mark-led executives of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) suffered a setback on Monday, following requests for Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja to step down from the case over alleged bias.
Aside from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), all the other defendants in the suit demanded Justice Lifu’s recusal from the matter.
Listed as defendants in the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1819/2025 are the ADC, INEC, Senator Mark, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, and Chief Ralph Nwosu.
