More leaders of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) are considering moving to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following the Supreme Court judgment on the ADC leadership dispute.
The apex court had returned the substantive leadership dispute to the Federal High Court for continuation, a development some party leaders said had left the ADC facing fresh uncertainty ahead of the 2027 general elections.
An ADC chieftain who spoke with Punch said the Supreme Court ruling did not fully resolve the party’s leadership crisis, warning that the substantive case at the Federal High Court could still affect the party’s plans.
The chieftain said, “There is nothing much to celebrate in the verdict. It is like postponing the evil day. The substantive matter is at the Federal High Court, and we have many bridges to cross on that.
“If, as expected, the Tinubu administration manipulates the judiciary against us, that will be too late for us, and it may hand Tinubu a cheap victory.” Newspot.
