Will Atiku Abubakar be on Nigeria's presidential ballot after ADC court ruling?

Nigeria's Federal High Court has dismissed the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and invalidated Atiku Abubakar's nomination as the party's presidential candidate. The dispute concerns David Mark's appointment as interim party chairman, which former ADC deputy national chairman Nafiu Bala Gombe challenged, arguing Mark had not been elected at a national convention. The ADC and Abubakar called the ruling an attempt to weaken the opposition, and the party said it would appeal. The presidential election is scheduled for 16 January, with Abubakar and Peter Obi expected to be among President Bola Tinubu's main challengers.
