Former Vice President and presidential hopeful, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has welcomed the recent judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria affirming the leadership of David Mark in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), while cautioning against complacency.

New Telegraph had earlier reported that the Supreme Court of Nigeria overturned an order that required the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to maintain the status quo ante bellum in its ongoing leadership crisis, effectively restoring the camp led by David Mark.

Reacting to the verdict of the Supreme Court in a statement issued on Thursday, Atiku said the ruling marks an important step but stressed that the broader struggle to reposition the country remains ongoing.

“Even as we welcome the Supreme Court’s firm affirmation of David Mark and the leadership of our great party, the African Democratic Congress, let no one be lulled into complacency.

“The road ahead remains long in our cause to take back and rescue our country.”

“This victory belongs to Nigerians, the courageous millions who refuse to surrender their future. We thank them, and we urge them to remain steadfast, because the struggle is far from over.”

“As we press on, let this truth guide us: eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” he said.
