Deregistration: Judiciary, not ADC on trial over, David Mark

Former Senate President David Mark has strongly criticized the Nigerian judiciary, asserting that the institution, rather than the African Democratic Congress (ADC) party, is currently "on trial." Speaking at the ADC Strategic Communications Retreat in Abuja, Mark voiced his disapproval of Justice Peter Lifu's handling of cases involving the party.

Mark described recent judicial actions related to the ADC as "unprecedented." He argued that the court's involvement and decisions have placed the judiciary itself under scrutiny, suggesting a loss of impartiality or fairness in its dealings with the political party. The former Senate President's remarks highlight a growing tension between political actors and the judicial system in Nigeria.

His comments at the retreat, aimed at enhancing the party's communication strategies, underscore a perception among some political figures that the judiciary may be overstepping its bounds or acting in ways that undermine public trust. The specific nature of the judicial actions was not detailed, but Mark's strong language indicates significant dissatisfaction with the outcomes or processes.
