Court Nullifies ADC Processes Behind Atiku’s 2027 Presidential Candidacy

The Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the African Democratic Congress (ADC) processes that led to Atiku Abubakar’s emergence as its presidential candidate for the 2027 election. Justice Peter Odo Lifu delivered the ruling on Thursday. The judge also nullified the emergence of David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola and others as national officers of the party. He ruled that all ADC candidates nominated for the 2027 general elections had their nominations cancelled because they emerged under an unlawful party leadership. The case was brought by Nafiu Bala Gombe, an ADC deputy national chairman. The court held that actions taken by the leadership led by Mark in the name of the party were unlawful.
