  "account": "The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has finally secured the Certified True Copy (CTC) of Justice Peter Lifu's ruling, which removed the party's leadership, on Wednesday. Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar instructed his legal team to examine the judgment and pursue appropriate legal action. All candidates competing for positions within the ADC on the 2027 general election platform rejected the ruling by the Federal High Court judge. The party's Director of Strategic Communication, Phrank Shaibu, announced the release of the CTC, citing Section 294(1) of the Nigerian Constitution, which mandates courts to provide written decisions and authenticated copies to all parties within seven days of the ruling. This release occurred on the final day allowed by the constitution, leaving little time for the ADC to review the decision and plan their next legal steps. The ADC expressed grave concerns over the timing of the CTC's release, emphasizing that it hinders their ability to challenge the judgment and prepare for any necessary counteractions.",
