Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has vowed to appeal the Federal High Court's judgment that nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by ex-Senate President David Mark. Atiku claims the ruling aims to weaken opposition and harm his presidential campaign ahead of the 2027 elections. The ADC's leadership was declared invalid by Justice Peter Lifu on Thursday, following a suit filed by former ADC Deputy National Chairman (North-East) Nafiu Bala Gombe.
Atiku argues that the timing of the judgment is no coincidence and part of a strategy to undermine his support in the North. He maintains that the appeal is about national support rather than regional appeal, stating that hunger and hardship affect all Nigerians equally. The former Vice-President also criticized the ruling party for underestimating his political support and dismissed the latest legal dispute as an attempt to bypass a previous decision.
