With the dismissal, Nafiu Bala Gombe has exhausted his legal options on the matter, as decisions of the Supreme Court of Nigeria are final and binding.
The Supreme Court of Nigeria has delivered a decisive judgment in favour of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola as National Chairman and National Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), respectively, quashing a suit filed by Nafiu Bala Gombe.
In a ruling that effectively ends the protracted legal dispute, the apex court dismissed Gombe’s case in its entirety, holding that it lacked merit. The judgment nullifies all claims brought before the court, thereby affirming the legal standing and positions of both Mark and Aregbesola in the matter.
Although the full details of the arguments presented during the proceedings were not immediately disclosed, the court’s decision is seen as a significant legal victory for the two prominent politicians. The ruling reinforces earlier decisions on the dispute and underscores the Supreme Court’s final authority in adjudicating such high-profile political cases.
Legal analysts note that the judgment not only brings closure to the case but may also influence similar political litigations, particularly regarding procedural requirements and the burden of proof in cases brought before Nigeria’s highest court.

The outcome is expected to resonate within Nigeria’s political landscape, given the stature of the individuals involved and the potential implications for party dynamics and future legal contests.
In her immediate reaction via her verified Facebook timeline, ADC’s woman frontline fighter Lauretta Onochie said, “The Supreme Court has quashed the antebellum nonsense, saying it is unnecessary. Now set aside by the highest court in the land.”
