Atiku Abubakar Hails Supreme Court Ruling on ADC Leadership

On Thursday, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar praised the Supreme Court's judgment that affirmed David Mark as the national chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC). He urged Nigerians not to become complacent, stating that the road ahead remains long in the broader struggle for the country's future.

Atiku welcomed the court's decision, which set aside a controversial status quo ante bellum order that had been issued during the ADC leadership dispute. The ruling by Justice Moham Garba confirmed that the court possesses the inherent power to issue preservative orders, which apply to ongoing matters to protect the integrity of the proceedings.

Atiku described the outcome as a collective victory for Nigerians, emphasizing the need for citizens to remain resolute and vigilant in defending democratic values. He noted that the struggle is far from over and called for continued support to strengthen opposition forces and shape Nigeria's democratic trajectory.
