ADC ruling: Law is about facts, not sentiments, Keyamo tells Atiku

Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo has dismissed the sentiments of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar following a court ruling that nullified the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by former Attorney General David Mark.

In a statement reacting to the judicial decision, Keyamo characterized the legal outcome as a matter of established facts rather than emotional appeals. He directly addressed Atiku, asserting that the law is grounded in objective realities and not in personal sentiments.

The comments come after a court invalidated the ADC leadership structure headed by David Mark, a move that has triggered significant political discourse within the party and among its key figures.

Keyamo’s remarks highlight the tension between the legal interpretation of the party’s internal affairs and the political positions held by senior opposition figures like Atiku Abubakar.

The ruling marks a pivotal moment for the ADC, as the nullification of the David Mark-led administration reshapes the party’s immediate strategic direction and leadership dynamics.
