Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has approached the Supreme Court, insisting that his African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket remains valid despite a recent court ruling concerning the party’s congresses.
CDA News Nigeria gathered that Atiku is challenging the judgment, arguing that the decision does not invalidate his emergence as the ADC’s presidential candidate for the 2027 general election. His legal team has reportedly filed the necessary appeal at the nation’s apex court, seeking to overturn the lower court’s ruling.
According to Atiku’s camp, the court judgment relates to internal party congresses and should not be interpreted as affecting the legitimacy of his nomination. The former vice president remains confident that the Supreme Court will clarify the legal issues surrounding the matter.
The development comes amid heightened political activities as parties continue preparations for the 2027 general election. Political observers say the outcome of the appeal could have significant implications for the ADC and its electoral plans.
CDA News Nigeria reports that the legal dispute has generated widespread interest within Nigeria’s political space, with supporters of the party expressing optimism that the Supreme Court will provide clarity on the issues raised. Until the apex court delivers its judgment, Atiku maintains that his ADC presidential ticket remains valid.
