Tinubu wants to deregister the major opposition so he can face Obi and NDC squarely and beat him silly in the North. Sadly, that will not be possible for them. To Tinubu, Obi is not a threat. The reason he is working extra hard to take Atiku off the ballot. Lesson in there.

How did the kidnappers release the body of the late General to the Katsina state govt for burial? And how did the state govt know he died of diabetes and high BP without autopsy?

I understand the concerns many supporters may have following today’s court ruling. However, I urge everyone to remain calm and focused.

In 2022, while campaigning, I was simultaneously involved in legal battles brought against me by candidates from both the Labour Party and the PDP, with matters proceeding all the way to the Supreme Court. We prevailed through the strength of our case, the resilience of our team, and the expertise of our lawyers.

I’m very confident that this latest challenge will also be successfully overcome.

Worth mentioning that the ADC, having members in the National and state assemblies, has fulfilled Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

Politics is often a marathon of obstacles: this is simply another hurdle on the road, and it will be overcome.

Stay calm. 🤝

The wait and get judgement from Justice Lifu to disqualify major opposition party, ADC and others is at best a joke taken too far. How can a Federal High Court give a judgement that has already been handled by the Appeal court. Nigerians should ignore. This judgement again shows the ruling party is scared of a free and fair contest. All the parties theu disqualified with the wait and get judgement will be on the ballot.

Tinubu's failure is so obvious that his people are not saying that he has not failed. They are saying that nobody can fix Nigeria and that everyone should give up on Nigeria.

Those guys are pathetic.

Dr. @SamAmadi I hope you will apologize to me?? You said my post was silly, you said my post was disrespectful. Atiku has officially announced Amaechi as his VP. I hope you will do the needful and apologize.

Lastly, it seems you don't know that much about ADC. I guess you should focus on supporting Peter Obi. Thanks and have a nice day.

[Bolaji Abdullahi @BolajiADC]

At a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling under crushing economic hardship, escalating insecurity, widespread unemployment, and growing national anxiety inflicted by the APC, it is deeply disturbing that powerful forces appear more interested in eliminating political opposition than confronting the real crises facing the country.

From our standpoint, the issue before the country is no longer simply about party registration. It is about whether the Nigerian people will be allowed genuine political choices in 2027. It is about whether democracy will remain a contest decided by voters at the ballot box or by powerful interests operating through institutions that ought to remain impartial.

Let it be clearly stated: the ADC will not stand by while the democratic rights of millions of Nigerians are threatened. We reject any and all attempts to intimidate, suppress, deregister, or politically extinguish our party and other opposition parties through means that offend both the spirit and the letter of the Constitution.

Nigeria is a nation of law, not a nation governed by the whims and caprices of agents of the ruling party. Therefore, as a law-abiding political party, the ADC will vigorously challenge this judgment through every lawful and constitutional avenue available to us. We shall mobilise all democratic stakeholders. We shall defend the rights of all our candidates, members, supporters, and the millions of Nigerians who are looking to the ADC as a credible alternative for national renewal.

Make no mistake, this is another act of desperation by the ruling party and the government to hand President Tinubu a second term without contest. This will not work. We therefore warn those who are seeking to manufacture a civilian dictatorship to understand that democracy cannot be strangled without consequences for national stability.

The responsibility for any tension or crisis arising from efforts to weaponise the judiciary against legitimate political opposition will rest squarely with those who are pursuing this dangerous and illegitimate path.

Meanwhile, the ADC will petition the National Judicial Council (NJC) over the judicial rascality demonstrated by the presiding judge of the Federal High Court, whose conduct has continued to bring the institution of the judiciary into disrepute.

We call on all our members, candidates, supporters, and coalition partners across the country to remain calm, vigilant, and steadfast. Whatever it takes, the ADC will be on the ballot so long as the 2027 election is to hold.

Further directives will be communicated through the appropriate channels.

“YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE”, ADC WARNS GOVERNMENT AGENTS SEEKING PARTY DE-REGISTRATION
-JUSTICE PETER LIFU IS A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, SAYS PARTY

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) wishes to warn, in the strongest possible terms, against any attempt to use the judiciary as an instrument to undermine democracy and plunge Nigeria into a major political crisis.

We are deeply alarmed by the judgment reportedly delivered by Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, in a case filed by the so-called National Forum of Former Legislators seeking the de-registration of the ADC and four other political parties. This judgment stands in direct conflict with constitutional principles and all known judicial processes and procedures.

The facts are straightforward. The plaintiffs had argued that the ADC and four other political parties failed to satisfy constitutional requirements relating to continued registration. However, in its counter-affidavit filed before the court in May, INEC, the constitutional body empowered with the registration, regulation, and supervision of political parties in Nigeria, categorically maintained that the ADC had not violated any registration requirements, had not failed any constitutional electoral-performance threshold, and that no legally recognised basis existed for its de-registration.

INEC further made it clear that the de-registration of a political party cannot be driven by political pressure, sentiment, or the wishes of interested parties. It must be based strictly on constitutionally established grounds, none of which had been proven against the ADC.

Apart from INEC's firm position in support of the party, the ADC finds it troubling that the trial judge was aware of a subsisting order of the Court of Appeal issued on May 22, 2026, directing a stay of proceedings on the matter. The judge, however, chose to flagrantly and contemptuously disregard a clear order of a superior court in a manner that brings into question all known judicial traditions.

The ADC considers this development not merely a legal dispute, but a dangerous escalation capable of destabilising the nation's democratic process. Our position is anchored on the role that agents of the ruling party have played in this matter. It would be recalled that the case has been championed directly by individuals working with the President's Chief of Staff. The decision of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, who is a second defendant in the matter, to join the matter as a plaintiff in April, is an absurdity, which sends a signal that is impossible to ignore.

We are therefore left in no doubt that this latest development is a continuation of the ruling party's persistent efforts to undermine the opposition, especially the ADC. We also find the timing of this ruling quite curious. Despite all the obstacles placed in its way, the ADC has risen to the task and met all benchmarks and deadlines. Therefore, coming at a time when the party has concluded its primaries and is fielding candidates for all positions in the next election, especially the presidential election, it is clear what this is all about.

However, the ADC would like to warn that any attempt to eliminate the country's major opposition party through judicial manoeuvring, thereby sabotaging the political aspirations of hundreds of its candidates, is a direct invitation to anarchy.

This is why we consider this ruling reckless, provocative, and even incendiary. Those who believe they can manipulate institutions of state to narrow the democratic space must understand that they are playing with forces far greater than partisan interests.

🤝🏽STAY CALM, WE ARE ADC.🤝🏽
They panicked at the emergence of Atiku Abubakar/R Amaechi joint ticket. They know it's over for them.

The laws and the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are clear as to why a party should be derigistered.

Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), as reinforced by the Electoral Act 2022 and INEC’s regulation states that the requirement for remaining as a political party, is either:

1. Winning at least 25 per cent of votes in a state during a presidential election OR
2. Securing at least one elective seat at the national, state, or local government level.
ADC has more than one elected official.

The @NigBarAssoc should begin to de-bar Judges who make rulings that are contrary to the laws of our land, to please their paymasters.
