ADC Spokesperson Commends Supreme Court
In a statement issued on Thursday, April 30, 2026, via his X handle @BolajiADC, the ADC spokesperson, Bolaji Abdullahi, praised the five-man panel of the Supreme Court for their unanimous decision. He noted that the ruling has done great credit to the judiciary and the political system in Nigeria.
“We commend the five-man panel of the Supreme Court, whose unanimous judgment has today done great credit to the judiciary in our country and our political system,” Abdullahi said.
Legitimacy of ADC Structures Affirmed
Abdullahi emphasized that the apex court ruling confirms the legitimacy of the ADC structures and its leadership under Senator David Mark and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola. The party congratulated all members and leaders on this judicial victory.
The Supreme Court's decision comes ahead of the 2027 general elections, providing clarity on the party's leadership hierarchy. The ADC is now expected to consolidate its structures and prepare for the upcoming electoral cycle.
This development marks a pivotal moment for the ADC, which has faced internal leadership disputes in recent months. The party's leadership under Senator Mark and Aregbesola is now legally recognized, paving the way for a unified front.
