Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has warned Nigerians against celebrating too early, despite the Supreme Court’s affirmation of Senator David Mark as leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), saying the real political battle still lies ahead.

The message marks a shift from legal victory to political mobilisation, as the opposition moves to convert courtroom success into momentum ahead of the 2027 elections.

In a statement, Atiku cast the ruling as both a validation of the party’s leadership and a call for sustained national resolve.

Even as we welcome the Supreme Court’s firm affirmation of David Mark and the leadership of our great party, the African Democratic Congress, let no one be lulled into complacency. The road ahead remains long in our cause to take back and rescue our country.

This victory belongs to Nigerians, the courageous millions who refuse to surrender their future. We thank them, and we urge them to remain steadfast, because the struggle is far from over. As we press on, let this truth guide us: eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. –AA

That kangaroo ruling by the SC.. has nothing to celebrate about.
These APC rogues pulling the strings... know exactly what they are doing. The end justifies the means.

But, whether the APC likes it or not, Waziri will be on the ballot come 2027.

Proper Sequencing of INEC Actions After the Supreme Court Ruling on ADC

1. Formally study and extract the Supreme Court ratio

INEC should first:

- Obtain the certified true copy of the judgment
- Identify the binding ratio decidendi (what the court actually decided, not commentary)
- Confirm the exact scope of the ruling on leadership recognition

---

2. Reinstate operational recognition of the affected leadership structure

Next step:

- Restore dealings with the leadership structure the Supreme Court effectively validated for operations
- Lift any administrative suspension created by the earlier Court of Appeal “status quo” order

---

3. Update party registry with conditional status

INEC should then:

- Update ADC records as “recognised but disputed”
- Clearly mark the leadership as subject to ongoing Federal High Court proceedings

---

4. Resume official party dealings through that leadership

INEC should:

- Accept correspondence, filings, and notices only from the recognised executive
- Reject parallel submissions for administrative purposes

---

5. Freeze conflict resolution pending trial court outcome

INEC must:

- Avoid declaring final ownership of the party
- Suspend any irreversible administrative restructuring of ADC leadership records

---

6. Comply with Federal High Court progression

Finally:

- Await final determination from the trial court as directed by the Supreme Court
- Adjust recognition only after final judgment or appellate exhaustion

---

Summary

The correct sequel is:

Recognise operational leadership → update records conditionally → engage officially → reject parallel claims → await final trial court decision.

Abeg, are the people In the ADC not even smart at all?

The judgement by the SC referring them to a lower court was a deliberate time wasting.

Election is how many months away now? Imagine they are still expected to revisit SC after the lower court judgement

Why not settle the issue amicably and withdraw all the petitions

Tinubu probably capitulated due to international scrutiny and pressure. The searchlights of the entire world were beamed on him. What is cast in stone is that Tinubu will have very formidable opposition come 2027 and that which he fears will happen.

The supreme Court judgement is a bate for ADC.
They want them to waste their time.
Their plan B,C....Z will go and they will not present candidates for 2027 election

ADC must triumph no matter what that druggie does

This man suppose relax nah... Abi na family matters him dey run?

Atiku my man. Your time has come to liberate Nigeria.

We are ready for them. Any guise them won take come we are gun ready.

Supreme Court smartly and cunningly buried ADC today with their kangaroo judgment.


ADC cannot field Presidential candidate for 2027 Presidential election going by today's Supreme Court ruling if you consider INEC timeline and time constraint.


Opposition should activate their plan B now if they have any because ADC is gone, all thanks to Supreme Court



Our joy about having a formidable opposition platform called ADC has been cut short by the Supreme Court

Very true this today's supreme court judgement looks like a trap to waste adc time the judges could have given a definite judgement if there was actually no future hidden agenda.

Na Nigeria I deh see where politicians go deh re-interpret court rulings to suit their own narratives. Na this same Nigeria a court will deliver a judgement, if it's against their expectations dem go say democracy is gone and judges have been compromised, however if it favours them, dem go say the rule of law has prevailed.

Very funny people on this platform.

When judgement nor favour them, democracy is in danger, the judges are corrupt.

Is this a good sign of incoming Victory?

ADC has come with their deception. The Supreme Court did not affirm the David Mark leadership. It merely removed the status quo order.

I am just here to create contents. I need 3 more original contents. Pls give me 3 more contents. Thanks everyone.

No crook team can be worse than the one Tinubu singlehandedly assembled!

Well, there was a FHC subsisting case that was yet to be dispensed with before they ran to the Supreme Court!

I think they can seek accelerated hearing at that court, but the litigations are many... it's a tight one for the ADC going by INEC timeline!

Second best option is to port ASAP to another party!

APC be ready for a shocker

Before nkor? You have just started. Since you can't just sit down.

Abubakar is still daydreaming.

Is it that these men don’t have REAL friends that can tell them the truth.

COMRADES, Atiku should know that ADC will emerge victorious in the upcoming general elections in Nigeria...whoever emerges as the party's flag bearer
Good luck

So, before the Appeal Court gave the status quo order, who was recognized as the ADC leadership?

You said it all!

Sore losers!

A Ray of Hope.

Light at the end of the tunnel

You're smart. I marvel at those celebrating and gloating. The APC knows exactly what it is doing...

Someone should please advise Atiku to stop deceiving himself. He can't remove Tinubu in an election. Obi will not accept to be his vice, which I strongly supported. Nigeria is not meant for Fulani alone. He should borrow sense and retire to elder stateman role. His time has passed and was used up by Buhari. What did he achieve as a vice president? Looting via privatization.

Obi/ Kwankwaso is the magic wand that will send the ruling party into confusion and rebounds of nightmares.

The SC didn'tvonfirm David Mark. It only threw out the case to the Trial court. Many are celebrating from or nothing.
