ADC Accuses Judge of Deliberately Moving Case to Lifu to Frustrate Campaign

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused a judge of deliberately moving a case related to its presidential campaign to Lifu, a move it believes is aimed at frustrating its efforts. According to THISDAYLIVE, the ADC has alleged that the judge refused to release the Case Transfer Certificate (CTC) of the judgement, thereby delaying the case’s progression. The ADC’s campaign council has berated the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, claiming that their re-election messages are divisive and empty. The ADC’s presidential candidate, Yabagi Sani, is challenging the nomination of Bola Tinubu as the APC’s presidential candidate, alleging irregularities in the primary election process. This move to Lifu comes as a surprise, as the case was initially slated to be heard in Abuja. The ADC believes that this move is a deliberate attempt to frustrate its campaign and undermine its legal challenge against Tinubu’s nomination. This development underscores the heated political climate in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 elections.
