Atiku Supporters Protest in Abuja, Demand Court Judgment to Appeal Ruling

Supporters of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar protested at the Federal High Court in Abuja, demanding a certified copy of the judgment that invalidated his emergence as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate. They alleged that delaying the document could frustrate Atiku’s right to appeal and submitted a petition to the court. They also said they planned to send copies to the United States Embassy and the United Nations, seeking intervention. The ruling declared the Senator David Mark-led ADC caretaker committee illegal and invalidated its actions, including the primary that produced Atiku as the party’s candidate. The case was brought by former party official Nafiu Bala Gombe, who argued that the committee’s emergence violated the party constitution and the Electoral Act. The ADC has said it will challenge the judgment at the appellate court. The protesters said they need the certified copy for Atiku’s legal team to proceed with the appeal.
