ADC Welcomes Court Ruling, Urges Leaders to Join Party

The Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Joyc Abdulmalik, dismissed a suit filed by Dumebi Kachikwu and four others against the African Democratic Congress (ADC) regarding the party's internal leadership and membership issues. The court ruled that these matters are non-justiciable, thereby declining jurisdiction over the case (suit no.

FHC/ABJ/CS/1331/2025). In response to the ruling, ADC's national secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, described the verdict as a victory for the rule of law, affirming the party's right to manage its internal processes without undue interference.

The ADC urged Nigerian political leaders to join the party, highlighting ongoing online registration efforts. The party also called on the judiciary to maintain political neutrality and resist any attempts to destabilize the party or undermine its internal processes, emphasizing the importance of democracy in Nigeria.
