NDC Critiques Court Ruling on ADC Leadership, Warns of Democracy Threat

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has condemned the Federal High Court's judgment that derecognized the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by David Mark. The NDC expressed concerns that such judicial decisions could threaten Nigeria's democracy and diminish the role of opposition parties.

In a statement signed by National Publicity Secretary Osa Director, the NDC warned that these judgments might create the impression that the judiciary is being used to hinder democratic participation and silence opposition voices. The party urged the ADC to appeal the judgment and called for an expedited hearing due to the impending 2027 general elections.

The NDC emphasized that uncertainty regarding the ADC's leadership could weaken its electoral participation and democratic competition. The statement concluded with the NDC reaffirming its belief in the potential for a new Nigeria, declaring, "A New Nigeria is Possible!".
