The Kwankwasiyya Movement has called on the Supreme Court of Nigeria to give urgent attention to ongoing proceedings involving the African Democratic Congress, ADC, warning that delays could hamper the party’s ability to participate effectively in the democratic process.
In a statement signed by its Spokesperson, Dr. Habibu Sale Mohammed, the Movement said it remains confident in the integrity and independence of the apex court but stressed that “the current situation has placed our party in a race against time.”
“Electoral processes are governed by strict constitutional and administrative timelines, and the absence of a clear and final determination inevitably constrains the ability of the party to fully organize, mobilize, and participate effectively within the democratic space,” the statement read.
The Movement appealed to the Supreme Court to consider both the legal merits of the case and its time-sensitive nature, citing the court’s historic role as “the guardian of constitutional order.”
“The Court has, over the years, demonstrated a clear understanding that justice, to be truly meaningful, must not only be fair but also timely — particularly in matters with direct implications for democratic participation and national stability,” Dr. Mohammed stated.
He expressed confidence that the Supreme Court would “act in a manner that preserves both the integrity of the judiciary and the vitality of Nigeria’s multiparty democracy.”
Addressing party faithful, the Movement urged calm and continued commitment to lawful engagement.
“To our members and supporters, we urge patience, unity, and continued commitment to lawful and democratic engagement. This moment calls for resolve and confidence in the institutions that underpin our democracy,” the statement added.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement reaffirmed its belief that “justice will prevail timely, fairly, and in the best interest of Nigeria.”
The Supreme Court is yet to fix a date for final determination of the matter.
