The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has described the Federal High Court judgment directing the deregistration of the party as a politically motivated move aimed at undermining the opposition and damaging public confidence in the judiciary.
Abdullahi made the assertion on Monday during an interview with ARISE NEWS while reacting to a ruling by Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja ordering the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister the ADC and four other political parties.
The court held that the affected parties failed to meet constitutional requirements for continued registration and had breached provisions of Section 225 of the 1999 Constitution.
