ADC party stakeholders have called on the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress and the presidency to address claims of pressure on the Supreme Court over a pending judgment in the party's internal leadership dispute. The request was made in Abuja by Romanus Ugwu, representing ADC stakeholders, who cited growing concern over the independence of the judiciary in the matter. The apex court is yet to deliver judgment on the leadership tussle within the ADC. The stakeholders insist that any attempt to influence the court's decision undermines democratic principles. They demand a public response from APC and the presidency on the allegations. The claim of external pressure on the justices has not been independently verified. No evidence was presented during the appeal. The Supreme Court has not issued a statement on the matter. The judgment remains pending.
ADC stakeholders are asking the APC and presidency to explain alleged pressure on the Supreme Court, yet they offer no proof to support the claim. The accusation alone risks weakening public trust in the judiciary's autonomy. If unsubstantiated, the narrative could serve as a pre-emptive tool to discredit an unfavorable ruling. This puts the credibility of the court and the integrity of the ADC's internal process in mutual doubt.
