ADC: Sokoto Tsunami responsible for judgment sacking David Mark, Atiku - Melaye

Dino Melaye, a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has claimed that the Tsunami in Sokoto State was the reason behind the Abuja Federal High Court's decision to dismiss the party's national leadership, including David Mark, and disqualify its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. Melaye called on ADC members and Nigerians to disregard the court's ruling, asserting that Atiku and the ADC cannot be stopped.

During the ADC's presidential campaign in Kebbi State on Thursday, he recounted that they faced over 100 men in police uniform who threw stones and fired tear gas, but Melaye believed that the National Chairman of the party, a general in the Nigerian Army, and Atiku, a former Customs officer with police training, could not be stopped despite the court's attempt to do so.

Melaye urged Nigerians and the people of Kebbi to ignore the court's ruling, stating that it was a reaction to the political Tsunami in Sokoto State, which prompted the judgment. He emphasized that there was no court notice sent out at 11pm the previous night; the judgment would be announced in the morning, but he claimed that they had faced this situation before.
