ADC judgment is victory for democracy, justice — David Mark

Senator David Mark, National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has declared a recent court judgment that affirmed his leadership of the party a significant victory for democracy and justice in Nigeria. Mark argued that the ruling extends beyond the party's internal affairs, reinforcing the broader Nigerian constitutional order.

“

This is not just a victory for our party; it is a victory for democracy, justice, and every Nigerian who believes in a vibrant political system where ideas compete freely and the will of the people ultimately prevails.

In a statement released by his media aide, Mark emphasized that the judgment reaffirms the judiciary's independence and strengthens confidence in Nigeria's democratic processes. He highlighted the importance of political parties operating without interference and the right of Nigerians to participate freely in politics. "This is not just a victory for our party; it is a victory for democracy, justice, and every Nigerian who believes in a vibrant political system where ideas compete freely and the will of the people ultimately prevails," Mark stated.

“

From the outset, we had maintained that democracy can only thrive when political parties operate without intimidation, undue interference, or attempts to undermine legitimate opposition.

The ADC leader reiterated the party's dedication to constitutionalism and the rule of law, positioning the party to offer purposeful leadership as a credible opposition during a critical period for the nation. He urged party members and supporters to remain united and committed to building a stronger, more inclusive, and prosperous Nigeria through peaceful democratic engagement.

“

Today’s judgment has reaffirmed that no individual or institution is above the law and that the judiciary remains the ultimate guardian of our constitutional order.
