African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar has urged the party's two rival factions in Jigawa State to withdraw their ongoing court cases. This came following a reconciliation meeting where both groups agreed to recognize the candidate list submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Atiku, along with other senior party leaders, facilitated the meeting which saw the opposing groups, led by Senator Sabo Muhammad Nakudu and Hon. Bashir Adamu Jimbo, sign an agreement to cease their legal battles. The dispute arose over the ADC's governorship candidate list, including the governorship running mate and certain National and State Assembly candidates.
The Jimbo faction had also filed a case challenging Nakudu's eligibility to contest the governorship election, alleging irregularities in the primary election. Atiku expressed satisfaction with the resolution, emphasizing that unity and cooperation are vital for a political family to overcome differences and move forward collectively.
