Federal High Court invalidates the process behind Atiku’s ADC nomination.

Semafor reports that Nigeria’s Federal High Court invalidated the process that made Atiku Abubakar the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential nominee. The judge ruled that the party primary was conducted under leadership he deemed illegitimate. Atiku’s camp plans to appeal, and the outcome remains unresolved. INEC chairman Joash Amupitan said the commission would obey any court order on Atiku’s eligibility if the appeal fails. The ruling invalidates the nomination process; it does not establish that Atiku has been finally barred from the election.
