The All Progressives Congress APC has told the Senator David Mark-led faction of the African Democratic Congress ADC to go sort out its internal mess and quit its \u201csenseless rants\u201d after a Federal High Court judgment sacked the faction\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>In a statement Friday in Abuja, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the ruling party had no hand in the case. \u201cTo be clear, APC is neither a party nor an interlocutor in the matter. Nothing about the case has anything to do with the APC. And the APC has absolutely no role in the party\u2019s judicial quagmire,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The judgment, delivered on Thursday by Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, sacked the David Mark-led leadership of the ADC. It also nullified all official acts of that leadership, including its primary election processes and outcomes, like the presidential candidacy of former vice president Atiku Abubakar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Morka said the case was brought by ADC national officers against the faction now removed from office, describing the suit as \u201ca notorious case initiated by leaders of ADC against pirate leaders of ADC.\u201d<\/p>\n

He accused Mark and his associates of taking over the party \u201cto satisfy Atiku Abubakar\u2019s quixotic presidential ambition.\u201d According to him, \u201cit didn\u2019t matter to them that their hostile takeover of that party was in flagrant violation of the rule of law and ADC\u2019s internal democracy, as a court of competent jurisdiction has now declared.\u201d<\/p>\n

The APC spokesman also accused the ADC of reacting to court decisions according to whether they favour it. \u201cEvery time a court decides against the Senator David Mark-led factional African Democratic Congress, they accuse the All Progressives Congress of collusion and deprecate the judiciary. Every time a court decides in their favour, they hail the rule of law and extol the judiciary,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the faction\u2019s attitude showed \u201cno iota of regard for the authority and independence of the judiciary, an indispensable pillar of any democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday\u2019s ruling, Morka said it \u201cwas procured by their own lawlessness and demonstrates the vibrancy of the rule of law and independence of the judiciary in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the ADC leaders \u201ctake no responsibility or accountability for the self-inflicted injury that the court only judicially certified.\u201d<\/p>\n
