Justice Has Been Served: Nafi'u Bala-led ADC Reacts to Court's Decision on Atiku

The Nafi'u Bala-led African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed satisfaction following the Federal High Court ruling in Abuja that nullified the leadership of the party led by Senator David Mark.

On Thursday, Judge Peter Lifu declared the Mark-led caretaker committee, which conducted the party's presidential primary that produced Atiku Abubakar as its flag bearer, as illegal.

Speaking to DAILY POST via phone, Nafi'u Bala emphasized, "The court has affirmed the truth today; these people came to cheat us. This party has belonged to us for years; we built it tirelessly. But after they destroyed their party, they came to hijack ours."

"This judgment will never change; it doesn't matter if they take their complaint to the United Nations," Bala added.

The court's decision has significant implications for the party, as it ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remove Atiku Abubakar's name and that of his team from the contestants' list.

The Nafi'u Bala-led ADC has now been left to prepare for the upcoming elections with their own presidential candidate, Prince Olugboyega Oyetola, who was elected as the party's flag bearer during the primaries held in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The court's ruling ends the legal battle between the two factions of the ADC, which had been embroiled in a leadership tussle since the party's primary elections.

The Federal High Court declared that the primaries conducted by the Senator Iyiola Omisore faction led by Senator Iyiola Omisore was illegal.

Speaking further, Nafi'u Bala stated, "We are grateful to the court for upholding the rights of our party members and delivering justice to the party."

The ruling has significant implications for the party's presidential candidate, Prince Olugboyega Oyetola, as he moves forward with his campaign.
