ADC Is Not On Trial, Nigeria’s Judiciary System Is – David Mark

ADC National Chairman Senator David Mark has warned the Federal Government against political manipulation ahead of the 2027 general elections. This comes following the Court of Appeal’s decision to reverse the deregistration of the African Democratic Congress and four other parties.

According to him, the Nigerian judiciary, rather than the opposition party, is the institution facing scrutiny over the controversy surrounding the deregistration of the ADC.

Questioning the conduct of Justice Peter Lifu in matters relating to the party, the former Senate President accused the judiciary of actions capable of undermining public confidence in the nation’s democratic process.

His words, “The ADC is not on trial. Rather, it is the judiciary that is on trial and the nation is waiting to see how the National Judicial Council is going to handle this precarious situation.

It is strange that a judge can order the Independent National Electoral Commission to pronounce a party dead and in less than 24 hours put the same party on trial.

Like I have said previously, our members should not worry about the shenanigans of the ruling party. We will go through all these turbulence because we are up to the task. By the time we are through all these, ADC will come out stronger.”

WOW.
