In David Mark Vs Leke Abejide case Justice Liman upholds ADC’s preliminary objections holding that, “the case borders on the internal affairs of ADC; therefore, the Court lacks jurisdiction.
The case is not a pre-election matter and falls outside the scope of the Federal High Court’s jurisdiction under section 251 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
The Plaintiff lacks locus standi and failed to exhaust the mandatory internal remedy provided under the ADC Constitution. Therefore, the case is struck out for lack of jurisdiction in the Court.” Judgment on the merits of the case is being rendered.
