ADC Accuses Supreme Court of Enabling 'Constitutional Tyranny' in Nigeria

The African Democrat Congress (ADC) strongly criticizes the Supreme Court for affirming the President's power to suspend elected governors and state assemblies during a state of emergency. The ADC warns that this ruling poses a grave threat to Nigeria's federal democratic order, concentrating excessive power in the presidency.

Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi of the ADC highlights the potential abuse of power and the danger of the ruling granting the president firm control over state governors. The party questions the lack of safeguards to prevent the abuse of presidential power, including legislative oversight and judicial review.
