Atiku Abubakar, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate and former Vice‑President, has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration of sealing Arewa House in Abuja ahead of the January 16, 2027, presidential election.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, Atiku said his campaign team had intended to use the venue for consultations before the alleged incident. “The APC government decided to seal the building,” he was quoted as saying.
The ADC also criticised the late release of the Certified True Copy (CTC) of a Federal High Court judgment delivered by Justice Peter Lifu. The ruling, which sacked the ADC leadership headed by former Senate President David Mark, was only made public at the eleventh hour, the party said.
“There is precious little time to study it and prepare its next legal steps. ADC will do everything to remedy,” the party added, noting that the delayed judgment left it with limited time to determine its next course of action.
With the CTC now available, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is expected to communicate its position on the ruling, as it has yet to announce its stance on the court’s decision.
