Status quo versus status quo ante bellum: An explainer to the wailing ADC

I asked AI and Google to explain the meanings of the Latin terms. Here is the explanation that I got:

Status quo ante bellum means "the state existing before the war". It is used in treaties and diplomacy to describe a peace settlement in which neither side gains or loses territory, power, or economic rights, effectively restoring the political and geographical conditions that existed before the conflict began.

Status quo: The current state of affairs.

Status quo ante or status quo ante bellum: The state of affairs prior to a specific event.

For example, Russia and the United States are now trying to maintain the status quo about their nuclear arsenals. To maintain the status quo is to keep things as they are.

The related phrase status quo ante, literally 'the status before', refers to the state of affairs that existed previously.

In the case between Nafiu Gombe versus ADC, David Mark, and Rauf Aregbesola, 'status quo ante bellum' means reverting to the ADC as it existed before Ralph Nwoye sold the party to Abubakar Atiku to serve as an SPV for the 2027 election. According to reports, Gombe claims he is still the vice chairman of the ADC, that he never resigned, and that he ought to have become the automatic chairman following the resignation of the party's longest-serving chairman, Nwoye. The ADC should stop blaming President Tinubu, INEC for its self inflicted woes.

The David Mark’s faction of the ADC really think they can use emotional reasoning and blackmail to bluff their way out of a purely legal conundrum they brought upon themselves. Unfortunately for them, law does not admit of sentiment. Decisions are based on facts, evidence, and the interpretation of laws, rather than on sympathy, emotion or political considerations.

All those who are arguing about ‘status quo ante bellum’ are dispensing their time and energy chasing shadows and not the substance. This is because whether INEC recognises either faction for now is irrelevant: what is relevant is that there is a challenge regarding the take-over of the Party pending in court by a duly elected Deputy National Chairman. As long as that case remains in court, all the actions of either faction MAY end up being nugatory AFTER the deadline for nominations of candidates by INEC. The implication is that the ADC may end up having NO CANDIDATE for the election.

Therefore, instead of vilifying INEC, the ADC should rather thank INEC for this timely action of de-recognising both factions BEFORE the close of the window for nominating candidates. It has duly forewarned the Party of the danger ahead and opened a window for them to either find a new, risk-free platform or ask for accelerated hearing of the case in court, or politically settle the leadership question in the Party quickly.

To keep blaming imaginary opponents or INEC is purely mischievous: neither APC nor INEC prodded these grown adults and supposedly ‘experienced’ politicians to go and hijack an existing platform without sound legal advice and without properly sorting out every member of the leadership of that existing platform.

They say they will proceed with their congresses and Convention despite INEC’s decision and the ruling of the Court of Appeal. That is fine by us.

NEVER INTERRUPT YOUR OPPONENT WHEN HE IS MAKING A MISTAKE.

Most times good things don't go viral in Nigeria. This is a free and effective metro.

[𝐀𝐬𝐚𝐤𝐲𝐆𝐑𝐍 @AsakyGRN]

Why is no one talking about this? Abuja literally has a free metro. Maybe the only free train in Africa.

[PINS @Pins2112]

@NaijaWilf @AsakyGRN That's not true, all the routes are free. Thousands of passengers, airport staff, and adventurers go to the Airport and the central area daily. The train is effective, clean and conducive.

@jrnaib2 Why ask? You already have a choice. From the comments I've read here, you seem to challenge anyone who opposes you. Why don't you be direct and promote your candidate?
