Aminu Tambuwal, a former Governor of Sokoto State and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), on Thursday hailed the Supreme Court judgment on the matter concerning the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), news.ng reports.
Tambuwal, in a post on X, said Thursday’s ruling is a testament to the supremacy of the rule of law and the strength of the country’s democratic institutions.
Tambuwal, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, asserted that the judgment is proof that the judiciary remains the bastion of justice.
He said, “This ruling stands as a strong affirmation of the supremacy of the rule of law and the enduring strength of our democratic institutions. At a time when there are growing concerns about the integrity of political processes, today’s decision sends a clear and reassuring message that the judiciary remains a steadfast guardian of justice, fairness, and constitutional order.”
According to Tambuwal, Thursday’s verdict by the apex court answers the many questions surrounding the illegality of the leadership of the ADC.
This, he noted, will create stability and unity as the party prepares for the 2027 general elections.
He stressed that democracy thrives on institutions that uphold the rule of law.
“Importantly, this judgment has now put to rest all questions around the leadership of the party, affirming the legitimacy of the leadership under distinguished Senator David Mark and H.E Rauf Aregbesola. This clarity is critical for stability, unity, and the continued growth of the party within Nigeria’s democratic space.
“Democracy thrives not merely on elections, but on the credibility of the institutions that interpret and uphold the law. The Supreme Court, through this judgment, has once again demonstrated its commitment to impartiality and its role as the final arbiter in disputes that shape our political landscape,” he added.
