ADC judgment is victory for democracy, justice — David Mark

By Luminous Jannamike

National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, says the court judgment affirming his leadership of the party is a victory for democracy and justice, arguing that the ruling reinforces Nigeria’s constitutional order beyond the party itself.

The ruling may have settled the dispute over the ADC’s leadership, but Mark said its implications stretch well beyond the party.

He argued that the judgment reinforces the right of political parties to operate without interference, reaffirms the independence of the judiciary and strengthens confidence in Nigeria’s democratic process.

Mark made the remarks in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Kola Ologbondiyan, in which he described the judgment as another milestone in Nigeria’s democratic journey and reaffirmed the ADC’s commitment to constitutional governance.
