Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned that the African Democratic Congress have no reason to celebrate the Supreme Court verdict, which validated the leadership of David Mark as interim national chairman and Rauf Aregbesola as national secretary.
Wike told journalists in Abuja that the ADC struggles are not yet over, adding he dislikes the people behind the party.
“The Supreme Court referred the ADC back to the Federal High Court. The ADC is still in problem.
“Not that I don’t like the party, I hate the individuals involved. I don’t like them. They are part of the people that have plunged Nigeria into problems,” Wike said.
Meanwhile according to the national publicity secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdulahi, the Supreme Court ruling is a welcomed relief, adding that the struggle continues.
“Today’s decision is a clear affirmation that our party, its structures, and its leadership under our National Chairman, Senator Mark, and our National Secretary, Ogbeni Aregbesola, are legitimate.
“We commend the five-man panel of the Supreme Court, whose unanimous judgment, has today done great credit to the judiciary in our country and our political system.
“However, while we welcome this judgement, we do not mistake it for the end of the struggle. The events leading up to this moment have exposed a troubling pattern of interference, bad faith, and attempts to weaken opposition voices in Nigeria.
