African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, Dino Melaye, has said the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the recent court judgement against the party has been received.
Naija News recalls that a Federal High Court in Abuja recently sacked the David Mark-led leadership of the ADC.
The judgement, delivered by Justice Peter Lifu, also nullified all activities carried out by the party under the David Mark-led leadership, including its primary election conducted in May ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The development outrage among political elites and uncertainty over the fate of the ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
However, Melaye, in a post on his official Facebook page on Wednesday, claimed that Atiku’s name was not mentioned in the Certified True Copy of the judgement.
He wrote: “We have just received the Certified True Copy of the Justice Lifu’s judgement. Nowhere in the judgement is Atiku Abubakar’s name or any other candidate’s name mentioned.
“All the propaganda and lies of APC have expired. Atiku Abubakar is coming.”
Meanwhile, Melaye has blamed President Bola Tinubu for the rising wave of violence against opposition politicians ahead of the 2027 elections.
Melaye, who spoke in an interview with DCL on Tuesday, said the President’s reported comments that “all is fair in politics” and that power should be grabbed sent the wrong signal.
The former lawmaker said the remark implied that every tactic, including rigging, was acceptable.
Melaye said, “When you say ‘all’, there is no exclusion. We are all English students.
“Which democrat talks like that? So he’s the one who ignited violence in our politics.”
He linked the President’s comments to recent attacks on opposition figures, including the shooting at vehicles in the convoy of ADC presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in Kebbi State.
