Court Ruling: Our Party Remains Valid, Functioning — Osun ADC Assures Members
The Osun State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has reassured its members of the party’s continued validity, stating that the recent court ruling did not nullify its recently conducted congresses.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by Osun ADC Publicity Secretary-Elect, Abosede Oluwaseun, clarified that the judgement by the Federal High Court only restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from recognising the congresses.
He explained that this position aligns with existing legal processes and does not differ from INEC’s earlier stance on the matter.
“We urge everyone to remain calm and focused. The recent court ruling did not nullify ADC congresses nationwide. It only restrained INEC from recognising the recently conducted congresses, which is consistent with the current legal processes already in place,” the statement read.
The statement further noted that the party leadership had already outlined a transition process, with arrangements in place for the swearing-in of newly elected executives upon the expiration of the current tenure on May 12, 2026.
It maintained that the ADC remains a valid and functioning political party under the leadership of David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola.
According to the statement, the situation is part of an ongoing legal process, with the final position expected to be clarified by the Supreme Court.
The party also urged its members to remain united, law-abiding, and committed to its collective goals ahead of the 2027 elections.
