INEC’s Flawed Use of ‘Status Quo Antebellum’ to Fabricate an ADC Leadership Vacuum
We’ve seen INEC claim a supposed “ADC leadership vacuum” based on its interpretation of a court ruling. But the judgment does not authorize removing David Mark from its portal under any reading. Before litigation, David Mark and his team were the recognized leaders. INEC’s new interpretation simply rewrites that reality as legal compliance. This move goes beyond an administrative error—it looks like a deliberate distortion of due process. An institution meant to safeguard democracy is instead undermining it. If INEC operates this way, Nigerians have every reason to be alarmed. At this rate, our democracy may face unprecedented threats by 2027.
