Court Removes ADC Leadership, Nullifies Atiku's Candidacy
On November 5, a court in Abuja ruled against the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by David Mark, removing them from office and voiding all decisions made under their tenure. This included the party's nomination of Atiku Abubakar as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.
Shehu Sani, an All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial candidate in Kaduna, commented on the ruling, suggesting that the ADC should pursue a legal appeal rather than resorting to public threats. He criticized the ADC for opting to take over a troubled party instead of establishing a new political platform, which he described as a strategic miscalculation.
The court's decision significantly impacts the ADC's electoral strategy as it casts doubt on their preparations for the upcoming campaign season.
