Former lawmakers of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) have raised strong concerns over a case seeking to deregister the party. They described the suit as fraudulent and misleading, warning the court not to fall for what they called a planned attempt to destabilise the party. According to them, the case is built on false claims that do not reflect the true situation of the ADC.

The ex-lawmakers explained that those behind the suit were not genuine members of the party and had no authority to speak on its behalf. They argued that the court should carefully examine the identities and motives of the petitioners. They insisted that the ADC remains active across the country and has continued to participate in political activities, making any claim of non-functionality baseless.

They also stressed that allowing such a case to succeed would set a dangerous precedent for Nigerian democracy. The group stated that political parties should not be targeted through fake lawsuits designed to silence or weaken them. They urged the judiciary to protect the rights of political groups and uphold fairness in political matters.

The former lawmakers called on party supporters to remain calm, assuring them that the ADC would defend itself against what they termed a politically motivated attack. They expressed confidence that the court would dismiss the suit once the truth becomes clear and the fraudulent intent is exposed.
