Atiku Abubakar Is Coming, CTC Of Judgement Silent On His Name – Dino Melaye

By Ayodele Oni

Former lawmaker, Senator Dino Melaye, has raised the hope of possible retention of the name of the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress ADC by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC for next year’s general elections.

Dino based his assertion on the fact that  the ADC has received the Certified True Copy, CTC, of the recent court judgement against the party and that Atiku’s name was not mentioned in the judgement.

A Federal High Court in Abuja had last week sacked the David Mark-led leadership of the party.

The judgement, delivered by Justice Peter Lifu, also reportedly 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 has sparked tension 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.”
