ADC Rejects INEC's Delisting of Mark and Aregbesola
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has publicly rejected the Independent National Electoral Commission's (INEC) decision to delist former Senate President David Mark and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola from its ranks. ADC spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi accused INEC of acting under political pressure from a jittery government, claiming that the delisting reflects a broader attempt to weaken opposition forces in Nigeria.
The ADC criticized INEC's interpretation of a recent court ruling, stating that it was misleading and politically motivated. The party argues that INEC's stance is riddled with contradictions and fails to align with the legal reasons established by the court.
ADC has vowed to clarify its position publicly and is currently reviewing its legal and political options regarding INEC's decision. The party has called on its members to remain calm and resolute while awaiting further statements and has indicated that further legal action may be forthcoming.
