Yola, Adamawa State – The Adamawa State High Court sitting in Yola has ordered the suspension of ADC congresses in the state.
Justice Ahmed Isa gave the order following a suit filed by the factional state chairman, Shehu Yohanna.
The ADC Congress was scheduled to commence on Thursday, April 9, 2026.
