The Kwankwasiyya Movement has appealed to the Supreme Court to fast-track its judgment in the ongoing case involving the African Democratic Congress, warning that further delays could hinder the party’s participation in Nigeria’s democratic process.
In a statement released Friday by its spokesperson, Dr. Habibu Sale Mohammed, the movement said it has full confidence in the integrity and independence of the apex court but stressed that the matter requires urgent attention.
“While we remain confident in the integrity, independence and sense of responsibility of the Supreme Court, we consider it necessary to respectfully highlight the urgency surrounding this matter,” the statement read.
According to the group, the unresolved case has left the ADC “in a race against time,” as political activities and electoral processes operate on strict timelines.
“The absence of a clear and final determination inevitably constrains the ability of the party to fully organise, mobilise and participate effectively within the democratic space,” Mohammed said.
The movement urged the court to weigh both the legal merits and the time-sensitive nature of the case, noting its implications for democratic participation and national stability.
“The Court has demonstrated 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,” the statement added.
The Kwankwasiyya Movement expressed optimism that the Supreme Court would act to safeguard both judicial integrity and Nigeria’s multi-party democracy.
It also called on ADC members and supporters to remain calm, united, and committed to lawful engagement as the legal process unfolds.
“This moment calls for resolve and confidence in the institutions that underpin our democracy,” Mohammed said. “The Kwankwasiyya Movement remains assured that justice will prevail, timely, fairly and in the best interest of Nigeria.”
