ADC ruling: Law is about facts, not sentiments, Keyamo tells Atiku

Festus Keyamo, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, has criticized former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar's reaction to the Federal High Court's judgment nullifying the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by David Mark. Keyamo emphasized that the law is based on facts and evidence, not emotions or public outrage.

The court ruled that the Mark-led caretaker committee was illegal, invalidating its actions, including the presidential primary that elected Atiku as the party's flagbearer. The ruling also nullified the appointment of Rauf Aregbesola as the party's National Secretary and other national officers, as well as the nominations of candidates for the 2027 elections.

Keyamo accused the Mark-led faction of attempting to take over the ADC without following proper constitutional procedures and warned that the law would not be swayed by sentiments.
