ADC Judgment: NDC Warns Judiciary Against Scuttling Opposition
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has cautioned the judiciary against actions that could weaken opposition parties and undermine multi-party democracy in the country ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The NDC's concern stems from the recent Federal High Court judgment nullifying the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by former Senate President, David Mark.
"While we respect the judiciary as the last hope of the common man, we are concerned that judgments of this nature, if not carefully handled, risk creating the impression that the courts are being used to scuttle democracy and weaken opposition," said the NDC in a statement.
The party warned that prolonged uncertainty over the ADC's leadership could undermine democratic participation, given the approaching election timetable.
The NDC urged the ADC to appeal the judgment without delay and called on the appellate court to grant an accelerated hearing to resolve the leadership dispute before the 2027 general elections.
The NDC warned that the judiciary must ensure that its decisions do not undermine the democratic process and the rights of opposition parties to participate in elections.
The party emphasized the importance of maintaining the independence and integrity of the judiciary while cautioning against actions that could undermine the democratic process and the rights of opposition parties to participate in elections.
