ADC Raises Alarm Over Supreme Court Ruling on State of Emergency in Nigeria

The African Democrat Congress (ADC) criticizes the Supreme Court ruling that allows the President to suspend elections during a state of emergency, warning of dangers to Nigeria's federal structure and democracy. The ruling is seen as concentrating excessive power in the hands of the President, undermining federal principles.

Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi welcomes the judgment, affirming the President's constitutional authority in declaring a state of emergency.
