Reacting to the legal maneuvers aimed at striking the NDC from the register of political parties, Atiku stated he was unsurprised by the unfolding events, framing them as part of a broader, systemic assault on Nigeria's democratic architecture.
Former Vice President and presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has fiercely criticised an alleged judicial plot to deregister the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), describing it as a calculated attempt by President Bola Tinubu’s administration to force a de facto one-party state upon the country.
In a scathing press statement issued by the Atiku Media Office in Abuja on Saturday, June 27, 2026, Atiku warned that any institutionalised effort to weaken opposition parties ahead of the 2027 general elections poses a severe threat to national stability, warning it could ultimately trigger "chaos and anarchy."
Reacting to the legal maneuvers aimed at striking the NDC from the register of political parties, Atiku stated he was unsurprised by the unfolding events, framing them as part of a broader, systemic assault on Nigeria's democratic architecture.
"Nigerians are now seeing the true colours of President Tinubu, who pretends to be a democrat, but his body language and the sinister activities of his agents contradict his mouthed commitment to free and fair elections," Atiku declared.
