ADC Denounces Court Ruling Against Mark and Atiku
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has condemned a Federal High Court ruling that dismissed the leadership of Senator David Mark and invalidated the candidacy of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 presidential elections. The ADC accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to suppress opposition through judicial means.
In a statement by National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC expressed concern over the timing of the judgement by Justice Peter Lifu, which followed a significant campaign rally in Sokoto State. The party alleged that the judgement was premeditated and aimed at undermining the growing public support demonstrated at the rally.
The ADC warned that the ruling could jeopardize the democratic rights of Nigerians and the participation of its candidates in upcoming elections. The party plans to challenge the ruling, referencing a previous judgement by Justice Musa Liman that affirmed the legitimacy of the Mark-led National Working Committee.
