David Mark: Judiciary, Not ADC, on Trial Over Deregistration Ruling
The National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, has said that the Nigerian judiciary, rather than the ADC, is currently on trial over the controversy surrounding the deregistration of the party and four others.
Speaking on Tuesday at the ADC Strategic Communications Retreat in Abuja, the former Senate President criticised the handling of matters relating to the party by Justice Peter Lifu, describing recent judicial actions as unprecedented.
According to Mark, contrary to public perception, the ADC is not the institution under scrutiny.
“The ADC is not on trial. Rather, it is the judiciary that is on trial and the nation is waiting to see how the National Judicial Council (NJC) is going to handle this precarious situation,” he said.
