Nigeria's Federal High Court has sacked the leadership of the opposition African Democratic Congress (ADC) party - and also ruled that the nomination of its presidential candidate, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, is invalid. A statement from the ADC said the ruling was another desperate attempt to cripple the opposition. Presidential elections are scheduled to take place on 16 January when President Bola Tinubu's main challengers are again expected to be Abubakar and former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi. Several high-profile politicians joined the ADC in 2025 - disillusioned by the factional infighting in the once powerful Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
