Obi faults court ruling sacking Atiku as ADC candidate

Nigeria Democratic Congress presidential candidate Peter Obi has expressed concern over the Federal High Court's ruling that nullified the emergence of former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as the African Democratic Congress candidate for the 2027 election. Obi stated that the ruling could create uncertainty for opposition parties ahead of the general elections, potentially undermining voters' choices.

He emphasized the importance of having certainty in the electoral process, especially three months before the elections, and accused the ruling party of attempting to undermine opposition politics.
