Atiku Abubakar Challenges ADC Leadership Judgment

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the ADC, condemned a judgment that led to the removal of the party's leadership, describing it as an attempt to destabilize the ADC and hinder his 2027 presidential ambitions. He alleged that the ruling was politically motivated and strategically timed to weaken the ADC after a significant turnout at his campaign launch in Sokoto State.

In a statement from Phrank Shaibu, Director of Strategic Communication for the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku emphasized that the judgment would not derail the party's campaign against the All Progressives Congress. He asserted that his candidacy transcends regional boundaries, addressing the widespread suffering of Nigerians.

Atiku questioned the legal basis of the judgment, noting that a previous ruling by Justice Musa Liman of the Federal High Court had dismissed a similar challenge. He announced plans to appeal the decision and urged ADC supporters to remain calm and law-abiding.
