The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared that the judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal in Abuja on Monday in a matter relating to party congresses for the election of ward, local government and state executive committees of the party has no effect whatsoever on the direct primaries through which the party’s candidates have emerged at all levels.
Penpushing reports that National Publicity Secretary Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi made the clarification in a statement made available to journalists, and assured the members of the party not to entertain any fear
‘We wish to assure members of the Party and the general public that this judgment has no effect whatsoever on the direct primaries through which the Party’s candidates have emerged at all levels’, Abdullahi said.
Penpushing further report that the statement stated that the party has already commenced the process of appealing the judgment, which the leadership respectfully disagree with and consider to be legally unsustainable.
‘We also note the dissenting judgment of the presiding Justice, which, in our view, more accurately reflects the settled position of the law and the party’s position. We urge all Party members and the millions of our supporters to remain calm, confident and focused.
‘The African Democratic Congress remains committed to the task of providing Nigerians with a credible alternative and will continue to pursue that mission in accordance with the Constitution and the rule of law’, he added.
