The African Democratic Congress has declared that Nigeria’s democratic future is facing a critical test as the Supreme Court of Nigeria prepares to deliver judgment in a major leadership dispute within the party.
The party made this known on Thursday through a statement shared on its official social media platform, describing the court’s decision as a defining moment for the nation’s political landscape.
According to reports, the apex court is set to rule on the lingering crisis rocking the ADC, alongside a separate case involving the Peoples Democratic Party over the legitimacy of its 2025 national convention held in Ibadan.
The ADC case stems from the earlier de-recognition of a faction allegedly led by David Mark by the Independent National Electoral Commission, a move that deepened the party’s internal wrangling.
Reacting to the development, the ADC described the situation as one where the nation’s democratic values are being put to the test, warning against any drift towards political dominance by a single party.
“Today is about democracy. Today is about Nigeria. Hope is on trial — but hope will not fail,” the party stated.
It added, “As the Supreme Court delivers judgment today, we are reminded that Nigeria must remain a democracy of choices, not control.”
The party further positioned itself as a platform representing ordinary Nigerians, insisting that pluralism must be preserved in the country’s political system.
“The African Democratic Congress stands as the voice of the people and the hope of the common man. No to a one-party system. Yes to democracy. Yes to Nigeria,” the statement concluded.
