Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has warned Nigerians against celebrating too early, despite the Supreme Court’s affirmation of Senator David Mark as leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), saying the real political battle still lies ahead.
The message marks a shift from legal victory to political mobilisation, as the opposition moves to convert courtroom success into momentum ahead of the 2027 elections.
In a statement, Atiku cast the ruling as both a validation of the party’s leadership and a call for sustained national resolve.
“Even as we welcome the Supreme Court’s firm affirmation of Senator David Mark and the leadership of our great party, the African Democratic Congress, no one should be lulled into complacency
“This victory belongs to Nigerians, the millions who have refused to surrender their future. The road ahead remains long in our collective mission to reclaim and rebuild our country,” Atiku added.
He also used the moment to rally supporters, urging them to stay engaged as the political contest deepens.
“We thank them, and we urge them to remain steadfast, because the struggle is far from over. As we press on, let this enduring truth guide us: eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” Atiku said.
The ruling is expected to steady the ADC after months of internal crisis, clearing the path for renewed focus on strategy, alliances and grassroots engagement.
