  "account": "Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani has admonished the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to cease threatening Nigeria with \"fire and brimstone\" regarding the annulment of its presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar's ticket. On Thursday, Sani posted on his verified X handle, urging the ADC to pursue its legal case through the Appeal Court, adding that the party had only brought its crisis upon itself by taking over a troubled party instead of registering a new one. The ADC's warning to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) against playing with fire followed the Federal High Court in Abuja's decision to dismiss the David Mark-led leadership of the party and nullify Atiku's presidential ticket for 2027. In response, Sani remarked that such language would not save the ADC in court; threats cannot alter a judgment. Rather, an appeal is the only path forward. He also pointed out that the coalition leaders were aware of the ADC's leadership issues before they decided to adopt it. Sani suggested that instead of registering a fresh party with a clean constitution and leadership, the coalition members chose to hijack a party already plagued by factions and legal disputes. He emphasized that the ADC's internal struggle is dragging the entire nation into it and urged the party to stop infighting and focus on the fact that Nigeria is bigger than Atiku, David Mark, and any party's ambitions. Sani reiterated that the courtroom, not threats, will determine Atiku's eligibility for the 2027 presidential race.",
