The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has called for the immediate release of Justice Peter Lifu's judgment concerning the leadership of the party and the rights of its members. According to a statement from Phrank Shaibu, the ADC Presidential Campaign Director of Strategic Communication, the judgment was declared ready by the judge, but the party's lawyers are still being denied access to the certified true copy.
The ADC argues that withholding the judgment is indefensible as it directly affects the rights of the party and its members. The ADC says that the court's acknowledgment of payment for the certified copy and the fact that the judgment was delivered days after the ADC launched its Sokoto campaign, make the delay indefensible. The ADC has formally objected to Justice Lifu presiding over the matter due to concerns about his impartiality, which were placed on record.
The ADC demands the immediate release of the judgment and a public explanation for the delay, threatening further legal action if their demands are not met.
