Nigeria’s political landscape faces uncertainty after a Federal High Court in Abuja nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by former Senate President David Mark and invalidated decisions taken under that leadership, including the nomination of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2027 general election. Justice Peter Lifu delivered the judgment on Thursday, November 5, 2026, in a case filed by Nafiu Bala Gombe, a former ADC deputy national chairman for the North-East. Gombe challenged how the Mark-led caretaker committee assumed control of the party. The court held that the committee’s emergence violated the ADC constitution and electoral laws. It also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to recognise decisions taken at the party’s 99th National Executive Committee meeting in July 2025 and subsequent actions. The decision affects more than Atiku’s presidential ambitio...

The 2026 United States midterm elections have produced a major political shake-up, with Democrats winning control of both chambers of Congress while four Nigerian-Americans secured electoral victories across the country. The results, announced after voting on November 3, represent a setback for President Donald Trump and the Republican Party. They also highlight the growing participation of Americans with Nigerian roots in public life. DEMOCRATS SECURE CONTROL OF CONGRESS Democrats won enough seats to take control of the House of Representatives and the Senate, ending the Republicans’ hold on both chambers. The campaigns were shaped by concerns about living costs, the economy, the administration’s policies and demands for stronger checks on presidential power. The result is significant because midterm elections are traditionally viewed as a referendum on the sitting president’s performance. Voters delivered a clear message of dissatisfaction with Republican leadership,...
