THUR APRIL 02 2026-theGBJournal| The African Democratic Congress (ADC), in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, has rejected the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) interpretation of the Court of Appeal ruling, and the subsequent resolve to remove the names of the National Working Committee led by David Mark from its official portal.
ADC is alleging that the electoral body acted under pressure ”from a government panicked by the opposition momentum despite its efforts to destroy all opposition parties and foist a one-party rule on Nigeria.”
The party described INEC’s position as contradictory and inconsistent with facts, insisting that it would publicly clarify these issues, while warning that the commission has effectively sided with the government against Nigerians.
ADC said it is currently reviewing its options and will announce its next steps soon, urging its members and the public to remain steadfast as events unfold.
The full statement read:
We reject INEC’s interpretation of the Court of Appeal ruling. We knew that INEC was being pressured by a government that has become jittery from the ADC’s rising momentum even in the face of its relentless assault on all opposition parties.
INEC’s press statement is full of contradictions that fly in the face of both facts and reason. We shall clarify these contradictions for all to see. What is clear, however, is that INEC has caved to pressure and has chosen to side with the government against the Nigerian people.
We are currently reviewing our options, and we shall make these known soon.
Meanwhile, the Party called on its members and all Nigerians to remain steadfast as they await further directives.
