Kalu Kalu, a lawyer representing the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has stated that the Federal High Court's judgment nullifying David Mark-led leadership of the party does not invalidate former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar's candidacy for the 2027 presidential election. Kalu emphasized that the judgment did not explicitly nullify Atiku's nomination or other candidates produced under the Mark-led leadership, and that Nigerians were drawing conclusions not present in the court's orders.
He made these comments during an interview on Channels Television while addressing concerns about the implications of the judgment for the ADC's participation in the 2027 general elections. Kalu further clarified that the court did not explicitly cancel Atiku's nomination as the party's presidential candidate.
