ADC judgment: Do not undermine democracy, Peter Obi says

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, urged Nigerians and the judiciary to protect democracy after a Federal High Court nullified the emergence of the African Democratic Congress national chairman and actions taken by him. While saying he respected the ruling, Obi raised concerns about electoral uncertainty three months before the 2027 general election and alleged that the ruling party was destabilising the opposition. He called on institutions to ensure candidates can participate freely and voters can choose their leaders, warning that weakening opposition politics threatens Nigeria’s democracy.
