ADC to Appeal Abuja Court Ruling on Leadership Congress

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has announced its intention to appeal a ruling from an Abuja court concerning its internal leadership congress. Bolaji Abdullahi, the party's spokesperson, stated that the judgment delivered on Monday would not impact the party's direct primary process for selecting candidates for the 2027 general elections.

The ADC has already initiated legal steps to challenge the court's decision, which it describes as legally unsustainable. Abdullahi expressed confidence in a dissenting opinion from the presiding justice, which he believes accurately reflects the legal position of the party.

The ADC is urging its members to remain calm and focused despite the ongoing legal challenges, emphasizing its commitment to providing a credible alternative for Nigerians. The court ruling comes amid heightened political activity as the ADC positions itself as a major opposition platform ahead of the upcoming elections.
