Keyamo Critiques Atiku After ADC Leadership Ruling
Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, responded to a Federal High Court ruling that nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by David Mark. The court, presided over by Justice Peter Lifu, declared the Mark-led Caretaker Committee illegal, invalidating its actions, including the presidential primary that produced Atiku Abubakar as the ADC's flag bearer.
The ruling also nullified the appointment of Rauf Aregbesola as the party's National Secretary and other national officers' nominations for the 2027 elections. This judgment stemmed from a suit filed by Nafiu Bala Gombe, a former ADC Deputy National Chairman (North-East), who argued that he was entitled to lead the party after the resignation of Ralph Nwosu, the former National Chairman.
Keyamo emphasized that the law is based on facts and evidence, not sentiments, and criticized the Mark-led faction for attempting to take control of the party without following constitutional procedures.
