Atiku Abubakar Denounces Court Ruling Against ADC Leadership
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar reacted to a Federal High Court judgment that nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by Senator David Mark. He accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to weaken the ADC and frustrate his presidential candidacy ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a statement from Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku described the judgment as a calculated move to undermine the ADC, coinciding with his campaign launch in Sokoto State, which drew a large crowd. He emphasized that his candidacy is national, not limited to Northern Nigeria, and criticized the timing of the judgment as a strategy to diminish his support.
Atiku also raised legal concerns, referencing a previous Federal High Court ruling that dismissed a similar challenge to the ADC's leadership, questioning why a new suit was filed to reopen the matter.
