However, APC famous that each time a courtroom decides in ADC’s favour, the get together hails the rule of regulation and extols the judiciary, saying that’s “the habitual folly of a vessel of a party scuttled by its own pirate leaders.”
National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, in a press release on Friday, mentioned the judgment by Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which sacked the Mark-led management of ADC and consequently nullified all its official acts, together with main election processes and outcomes, was procured by their very own lawlessness.

“In their warped reckoning, only courts and judges that side with them are worthy, while those that rule differently are a menace to society. That is senselessness in the extreme,” he mentioned.
According to Morka, the courtroom judgment that despatched the ADC right into a tailspin involved a infamous case initiated by leaders of the ADC in opposition to “pirate leaders of ADC.”

“And the APC has completely no function within the get together’s judicial quagmire. The case resulted from a authorized problem introduced by ADC nationwide officers victimised by the bare-faced heist of the get together’s management by David Mark and his co-pirates to fulfill Atiku Abubakar’s quixotic presidential ambition.
“It didn’t matter to them that their hostile takeover of that get together was in flagrant violation of the rule of regulation and ADC’s inside democracy, as a courtroom of competent jurisdiction has now declared.
“Now they lash out in a fit of rage at the court and innocent spectators for the judicial outcome that was the inevitable consequence of their reckless political misadventure. They rave and rant senselessly, peddle conspiracy theories, but take no responsibility or accountability for the self-inflicted injury that the court only judicially certified,” Morka mentioned.
According to him, if ADC is dissatisfied with that call, it ought to train its constitutional proper of attraction relatively than partaking in partisan mudslinging in opposition to APC and issuing threats to incite anarchy in opposition to the identical Nigerians they declare they need to manipulate.
“The ADC is a decrepit get together and continues to show itself as grossly unfit to be taken critically by Nigerians, and Nigerians are unperturbed by their irresponsible and harmful rhetoric. A celebration that can’t repair itself can not presumably repair Africa’s most vital nation.
“Our great Party and the President Tinubu administration remain committed to preserving Nigeria’s democracy, upholding the rule of law, and delivering good governance to all Nigerians, and unfazed by the wolf cries of a drowning opposition,” he added.
