ADC rejects ruling nullifying Atiku’s candidacy, vows appeal

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has rejected a Federal High Court ruling that nullified its leadership and invalidated the candidacy of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 elections. The party vowed to challenge the decision through all available judicial channels, expressing concerns over the potential impact on its members' political rights.

ADC spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi accused the ruling of raising questions about the democratic process and threatened to disrupt the nation's stability. The party also criticized the timing of the judgment, suggesting it was part of a strategy to disrupt the electoral process.
