By the judgment, former Vice President and presidential candidate of the ADC, Atiku Abubakar, has no platform on which to contest the forthcoming presidential election.
Similarly, Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke, who is billed to seek re-election in the August 15 governorship election on the platform of the Accord Party, has been kicked out of the race.
The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2637/2026, was instituted by the Incorporated Trustees of the National Forum of Former Legislators against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and several political parties, including the ADC, Action Alliance, APP, Accord Party and Zenith Labour Party.
