The leadership of the Legacy faction of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna State has called on members to comply with a recent Court of Appeal judgment, urging those aligned with rival party structures to embrace reconciliation and work within what it described as the constitutionally recognised leadership of the party.
While addressing a press conference in Kaduna , the State Chairman of the Legacy ADC, Hon. Ahmed Tijjani Mustapha, said the appeal court’s decision had reaffirmed the order of the Federal High Court concerning the recognition of party structures arising from the ADC’s April congresses.
According to Mustapha, the appellate court, in a majority decision, upheld the lower court’s order restraining the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising state congresses, activities or leadership structures allegedly emanating from committees constituted during the party’s April congresses.
He maintained that the judgment affirmed that duly elected State Executive Committees remained the legitimate organs empowered to conduct congresses in accordance with the party’s constitution.
