ADC Warns APC Against Threats to Nigeria's Democracy
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) issued a warning to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) regarding actions that could jeopardize Nigeria's peace and democratic stability after a Federal High Court judgment affecting the party's leadership and the political interests of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. The judgment, delivered by Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja, was described by ADC's National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, as an attempt to undermine opposition politics ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The ADC alleged that the timing of the judgment, which came shortly after its presidential campaign rally in Sokoto, indicated the APC's discomfort with the ADC's rising political influence. The ADC plans to challenge the judgment, citing a previous ruling from July 2, 2026, by Justice Musa Liman that affirmed the legitimacy of the David Mark-led National Working Committee.
The party urged the judiciary to resist political influence and called for free and fair elections.
