APC TELLS ADC TO RESOLVE LEADERSHIP CRISIS, EXERCISE RIGHT OF APPEAL

By CS News.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to resolve its internal leadership crisis rather than blame the ruling party and the judiciary over recent court decisions.

The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, stated this in a reaction to the Federal High Court judgment in Abuja concerning the leadership dispute involving the David Mark-led faction of the ADC.

Morka maintained that the APC had no involvement in the APC-ADC leadership crisis, which followed a challenge instituted by some ADC national officers over the party’s leadership.

He said the legal action accused David Mark and his associates of taking over the party in violation of its internal democracy and the rule of law.

The APC spokesman described the court’s decision as evidence of the independence of the judiciary, urging the ADC to exercise its constitutional right of appeal if it disagreed with the judgment.

He also accused the opposition party of selectively respecting judicial decisions, arguing that it praised the judiciary when rulings favoured its interests but criticised it when judgments went against it.

Morka further maintained that the administration of President Bola Tinubu remained committed to upholding the rule of law, protecting democratic institutions and delivering good governance to Nigerians.
