The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to address its internal leadership crisis instead of blaming the ruling party for legal setbacks. National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka dismissed accusations that the APC played a role in the ADC's current situation, stating that the dispute originated from a legal challenge by aggrieved members of the ADC.
The Federal High Court in Abuja recently ruled that the leadership of the ADC, led by David Mark, contravened the party's constitution, Electoral Act, and the 1999 Constitution. This decision invalidated the faction's planned 2027 presidential primary, which would have produced former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar as its candidate.
The court also directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to recognize the ADC's affected decisions. Despite the ruling, the ADC and some opposition parties accused the APC of being responsible for the leadership crisis. However, Morka argued that the ADC was engaging in partisan rhetoric and had not taken responsibility for its internal issues.
The APC maintained its commitment to preserving Nigeria's democracy, upholding the rule of law, and delivering good governance.
