Justice Lifu’s Judgment Does Not Void Atiku’s Candidacy — ADC Lawyer
Kalu Kalu says the court only nullified the David Mark-led leadership and did not expressly cancel Atiku Abubakar’s 2027 nomination.
- On November 5, Honourable Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja nullified the David Mark-led leadership of the African Democratic Congress , invalidating the presidential primary that produced Atiku Abubakar as its 2027 candidate.
- Following the release of the Certified True Copy on Wednesday, the ADC rejected the decision, describing it as legally indefensible and accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress of seeking to weaken the opposition.
- ADC lawyer Kalu Kalu argued the judgment does not void Atiku's candidacy, while Dr. Sam Amadi of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thought insisted that if the ruling stands, Atiku is not a candidate.
- Nigeria Democratic Congress chieftain Buba Galadima criticized ADC members for celebrating Justice Lifu's reported illness, warning that if the judge travels to Europe, the party cannot secure records required for an appeal.
- The ADC announced on November 6 that it filed an appeal and a stay of execution, citing an earlier judgment by Justice Musa Liman that affirmed the David Mark-led leadership's legitimacy.
