By Editor
The Kwankwasiyya Movement has hailed the Supreme Court judgment on the leadership crisis of the opposition African Democratic Congress(ADC) describing it as an reaffirmation of the judiciary’s sacred responsibility as the stabilizing force in a democratic society.
This is contained in a statement by the spokesperson for the movement, Dr. Habibu Sale Mohammed on Friday in Kano.
“The Kwankwasiyya Movement wishes to address Nigerians and our teeming supporters across the country on the recent judgment delivered by the Supreme Court of Nigeria regarding the leadership dispute within the African Democratic Congress.
“We note the courage and clarity demonstrated by the apex court in setting aside the improper and unwarranted orders that had created uncertainty within the party.
“This judgment is not only a victory for due process, but also a reaffirmation of the judiciary’s sacred responsibility as the stabilizing force in a democratic society.
“By correcting the procedural irregularities that led to the artificial suspension of party leadership, the Court has effectively restored order and reaffirmed that institutions must operate within the bounds of the law. More importantly, the judgment sends a strong signal that judicial processes cannot be manipulated to create confusion or derail legitimate political structures,” Mohammed stated.
He added: “While we recognize that the substantive matter has been referred back to the trial court for full determination, we remain confident that the foundation laid by this ruling will guide all subsequent proceedings toward justice, fairness, and finality.
“At this critical juncture, we wish to state that the Kwankwasiyya Movement is carefully studying the judgment and rigorously analyzing its implications, particularly in light of the limited time available within the electoral cycle.
“This is necessary to ensure that we do not inadvertently fall into any political or legal trap that could ultimately undermine or prevent our principal and other key actors within the opposition from effectively participating in the 2027 general elections.
“In the same vein, we are actively exploring all lawful and strategic options available to us to neutralize any such potential obstacles.
“These options include constructive engagements and the careful consideration of alignments with other progressive political platforms such as the National Democratic Congress and the People’s Redemption Party, among others, strictly in the overriding interest of protecting democratic participation and ensuring that the voice of the people is not silenced.”
“Our objective remains clear: to safeguard our political rights, protect democratic participation, and ensure that no contrived circumstances are allowed to disenfranchise millions of Nigerians who look to the opposition for credible leadership.
“We wish to assure all members of the Kwankwasiyya family that, in no distant time, an official position of our leader regarding a new political alignment will be communicated as soon as a definite decision is reached.
“Nigeria’s democracy must be protected not only by the strength of its institutions but by the courage of its people to stand firm in the face of uncertainty. We believe the judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court, will continue to rise to this responsibility as the ultimate guardian of justice and national cohesion.
“The Kwankwasiyya Movement remains resolute, united, and committed to the democratic process. We urge all our members to remain calm and focused while we await a clear directive from our leader as deliberations continue”.
