Justice Peter Lifu of a Federal High Court in Abuja, has dismissed two applications asking him to withdraw from further trial in the suit challenging the Senator David Mark-led leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Justice Lifu, in a ruling on Tuesday, held that the two applications filed by the ADC and its National Secretary, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, lacked merit, devoid of credible evidence and aimed at frustrating the accelerated hearing in the matter as ordered by the Supreme Court.
