APC elders hail NWC for averting electoral disaster in Ondo
“Today’s decision is a resounding affirmation that the judiciary remains the last hope of the common man and cannot be intimidated into legitimising political mischief,” he said.
The former vice president further alleged that opposition parties had faced repeated attempts at destabilisation through proxy litigation and institutional manipulation, but insisted that Thursday’s judgment demonstrated that the courts remained committed to justice and the Constitution.
Atiku maintained that the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC) emerged through a lawful and transparent process in accordance with the ADC constitution and said no amount of litigation could invalidate that process.
He urged party members to remain calm, united and focused on what he described as the broader mission of offering Nigerians a credible political alternative.
“This victory is not an invitation to triumphalism. Rather, it is a renewed call for all democrats to continue strengthening our institutions and protecting the sanctity of the rule of law,” he said.
Congratulating the party leadership under Senator David Mark, Atiku said the ruling reinforces the ADC’s unity and readiness for the political challenges ahead.
“The journey to reclaim Nigeria continues, and no amount of political intimidation, sponsored litigation or abuse of state power will derail the democratic aspirations of the Nigerian people,” he added.
