Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has said the opposition’s fight is far from over despite the Supreme Court ruling affirming the David Mark-led leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Atiku warns against complacency

Reacting in a statement shared on social media, Atiku described the judgment as a major step but cautioned supporters not to see it as final victory.

“Even as we welcome the Supreme Court’s firm affirmation of David Mark and the leadership of our great party, the African Democratic Congress, let no one be lulled into complacency,” he said.

Calls for continued political struggle

The former vice-president stressed that more effort is required in what he described as a broader mission to “rescue” the country.

“The road ahead remains long in our cause to take back and rescue our country,” he added.

Dedicates outcome to Nigerians

Atiku dedicated the outcome of the legal battle to Nigerians, whom he described as resilient in the face of ongoing political and economic challenges.

“This victory belongs to Nigerians, the courageous millions who refuse to surrender their future,” he said.

Urges vigilance and unity

He further called for sustained public engagement, noting that democratic progress must be protected.

“As we press on, let this truth guide us: eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” Atiku stated.

His remarks come amid ongoing political developments following the Supreme Court ruling, which resolved the ADC leadership dispute and restored clarity within the party ahead of future elections.
