Osunbor Confident Atiku Will Overcome Court Ruling

Oserheimen Osunbor, the former Governor of Edo State and National Legal Adviser of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), expressed optimism regarding Atiku Abubakar's prospects following a Federal High Court ruling that invalidated the leadership of the ADC under David Mark. The court's judgment, delivered by Justice Peter Lifu, was in response to a suit by Nafiu Bala Gombe, which challenged the legitimacy of the Mark-led leadership and the process that nominated Atiku as the ADC's presidential candidate for the 2027 election.

Despite the ruling, Osunbor stated that the ADC would appeal the decision and continue its campaign, believing that the judgment would not hold. He also suggested that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is anxious about Atiku's candidacy, as they do not want a strong opponent against President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming election.

Osunbor asserted that Atiku has the people's support, which he believes will prevail against those attempting to undermine his candidacy.
