Supreme Court Ruling on ADC Leadership: Road Ahead Still Long – Atiku

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has said that Nigeria’s opposition struggle is far from over despite the Supreme Court’s affirmation of the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) under David Mark.

Reacting shortly after the judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Atiku urged supporters not to become complacent, stressing that the broader political mission of “rescuing” the country remains ongoing.

In a statement shared via his official social media handle, the former vice president described the ruling as an important milestone but warned that it should not be mistaken for a final victory.

“Even as we welcome the Supreme Court’s firm affirmation of David Mark and the leadership of our great party, the African Democratic Congress, let no one be lulled into complacency. The road ahead remains long in our cause to take back and rescue our country,” he said.

Atiku dedicated the outcome of the legal process to Nigerians, describing them as resilient in the face of economic hardship and political uncertainty.

“This victory belongs to Nigerians, the courageous millions who refuse to surrender their future. We thank them, and we urge them to remain steadfast, because the struggle is far from over,” he added.

He further called for sustained vigilance and unity among citizens, arguing that democratic progress must be actively protected.

“As we press on, let this truth guide us: eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” he stated.
