Court Invalidates Atiku Abubakar's ADC Candidacy
The Federal High Court has ruled against Atiku Abubakar's candidacy for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), declaring his nomination invalid and dismissing the leadership of David Mark. This judgement, delivered on a Thursday, invalidated all decisions made by the ADC's National Working Committee, including the primary election that selected Atiku as the presidential candidate.
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communication, responded to the ruling by accusing the Mark-led faction of undermining the party's constitution and acting undemocratically. He stated that the leadership took control of the party "like a thief in the night" and emphasized the need for political parties to adhere to due process, equity, and justice.
Bwala's comments included strong language condemning the actions of the ADC leadership, asserting that they disrespected both the party's guidelines and Nigeria's constitution.
