ADC Claims Court Ruling Targets Mark and Abubakar's Leadership
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to weaken the opposition after a judgment by Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja invalidated the leadership of Senator David Mark and the candidacy of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. The ADC stated that the judgment was delivered shortly after their presidential campaign rally in Sokoto, suggesting it was intended to undermine their political support ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement by National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC described the ruling as an infringement on Nigerians' democratic rights. The party plans to challenge the judgment, which they argue contradicts a previous ruling by Justice Musa Liman affirming Mark's leadership.
The ADC is awaiting the Certified True Copy of the recent judgment to determine their next legal steps.
