A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Solomon Dalung, has insisted he would not support any party action that could undermine the judicial process.
Naija News reports that Dalung made this known in a video via his social media page, cautioning the party against inaugurating caretaker committee members whose appeals are reportedly pending before the Supreme Court.
Dalung, the Director of the Mandate Protection Directorate of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council, expressed concern over the party’s decision to appoint individuals involved in ongoing legal disputes as chairmen of caretaker committees, despite their appeals still being before the apex court.
According to the former Minister, the party appears not to have learnt from the numerous litigations confronting it, adding that the party leadership should exercise restraint and avoid taking actions that could interfere with ongoing judicial proceedings.
He said, “It seems the party has not learnt any lesson from the plethora of litigations confronting it. The National Secretary, in complete disregard, proceeded to appoint persons who are defending their appeals at the Supreme Court as chairmen of caretaker committees.
“I will not stand with the ADC to undermine the judicial process. Therefore, I am sending a word of caution to the party to put on hold the reported inauguration of caretaker committee members whose appeals are pending before the Supreme Court.”
