A lawyer representing the African Democratic Congress, Kalu Kalu, has insisted that the Federal High Court judgment nullifying the Senator David Mark-led leadership of the party did not invalidate Atiku Abubakar’s candidacy for the January 16, 2027 presidential election. He recently had his say during an interview with Channels TV, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Stressing that the judgment delivered by Justice Peter Lifu did not expressly nullify Atiku’s nomination, he argued that some Nigerians are reading conclusions into the ruling that were not contained in its orders.
He concluded by maintaining that the court did not make any specific order cancelling the former VP’s nomination as the party’s presidential candidate.
His words, “There is no portion of that judgment that voids the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar and the other candidates of the party.
The judgment of Honourable Justice Peter O. Lifu does not in any way void the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar for the presidential election coming up on the 16th day of January 2027.
It’s just people, the social media we have in Nigeria, just imported what is not explicitly stated in that judgment.”
