Former Vice President and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has welcomed the recent Supreme Court ruling on the party’s leadership dispute, describing it as a significant affirmation of the party’s leadership.
Atiku made his position known in a statement shared via his X handle on Thursday, where he expressed support for the decision of the apex court, which he said upheld the leadership of former Senate President David Mark.
“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,” he said.
The former presidential candidate, however, cautioned party members and supporters against complacency, noting that the political struggle ahead remains challenging.
“The road ahead remains long in our cause to take back and rescue our country,” he added.
Atiku described the ruling as a victory for Nigerians, particularly those committed to democratic values and political change.
“This victory belongs to Nigerians, the courageous millions who refuse to surrender their future,” he stated.
He urged supporters to remain resolute, stressing that sustained vigilance is essential in the pursuit of democratic ideals.
“We thank them, and we urge them to remain steadfast, because the struggle is far from over. As we press on, let this truth guide us: eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” he said.
