We know those behind court order that deregistered ADC – Party spokesman

The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, says they know the people responsible for the court order that deregistered the ADC and other political parties.

Abdullahi made this statement on Monday when he featured in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television.

He was reacting to the court order which instructed the deregistration of the ADC, Accord Party and others from participating in the 2027 general elections.

“We know the person behind the Federal High Court judgment that deregistered the ADC. The person or the individual who is championing this, works in the office of the Chief of Staff to the President.

“He’s a former House of Representatives member from the South-East. His name is there. They are not hiding.

“Secondly, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, who was the second defendant in the case a few days ago, suddenly emerged as a plaintiff. What an absurdity! In a case that you are a defendant, then suddenly you woke up and became a plaintiff?

“Then the question that we ask him is, what is the injury that these individuals who call themselves former legislative forum will suffer if ADC and these other parties contest election in 2027? Of course, maybe the breakfast they are enjoying will come to an end,” he said.
