The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has identified the individuals it believes orchestrated the court ruling that led to its deregistration, according to the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi.
Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ program on Monday, Abdullahi revealed that the person spearheading this effort works in the office of the President’s Chief of Staff. He described the individual as a former House of Representatives member from the South-East, stating that they have made no effort to conceal their identity.
Abdullahi also raised questions about the role of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, who initially appeared as a defendant in the case but later emerged as a plaintiff. He called this development absurd and demanded an explanation.
The party spokesman further questioned the motive behind the deregistration, asking what injury the self-styled former legislative forum would suffer if ADC and other parties participated in the 2027 elections. He suggested that the move might be driven by a desire to protect certain privileges, implying that the so-called breakfast they enjoy could be at risk.
