Atiku verdict: APC wants opposition fighting, Ameh warns

Peter Ameh, National Democratic Congress (NDC) senatorial candidate for Kogi East, urged opposition parties not to celebrate the court ruling that removed the David Mark-led ADC National Working Committee and nullified Atiku Abubakar’s candidacy. Speaking in Abuja, he warned that divisions among opposition parties would benefit the APC and that the ruling could later be used against other factions. Ameh called on opposition parties to focus on demanding free, fair and credible elections instead of fighting over leadership and candidacies. He also accused the APC-led government of failing to provide good governance during its 11 years in power.
