A support group of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, the Grassroots Mobilization Network, GMN, has expressed concerns over ongoing legal disputes involving the party, urging the judiciary to uphold fairness and due process.

Speaking on Saturday in Abuja, the group’s spokesperson, Peter Emeka, said all stakeholders must work to protect democratic institutions and ensure confidence in the electoral process.

“The ruling party doesn’t want anyone on the ballot,” Emeka alleged, while calling on the courts to remain impartial in the handling of political cases.

He urged judicial officers handling political matters to act in accordance with the law and in a manner that would strengthen public trust in the judiciary.

According to him, court decisions on politically sensitive matters often attract public attention and should be guided by the principles of justice, fairness, and constitutional order.

Emeka also argued that issues relating to party leadership and internal party affairs should be addressed in line with existing legal precedents and established judicial pronouncements.

He noted that the legal proceedings involving the ADC and Nafiu Bala have generated significant interest among party members and political observers.

The ADC and Nafiu Bala have been involved in a leadership dispute, with several cases filed in different courts.

One of the matters is expected to come up for hearing in the coming days.
