Nafiu Bala reacts to Atiku, Mark’s names remaining on INEC portal

Nafiu Bala Gombe, a factional leader of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has defended his decision to pursue the party's leadership dispute in court, insisting that political popularity and financial influence should not place anyone above the law.Speaking on why the names of Atiku Abubakar and David Mark remained on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, portal, Bala said the commission would take appropriate action once it received the certified copy of the court judgment.He rejected claims that INEC was deliberately delaying the process, suggesting that the commission might not have received the official court documents.Bala also dismissed suggestions that the large crowds attracted by the ADC during political activities in Sokoto and Kebbi should have persuaded him to abandon the legal battle.“I went to court with only the Constitution. I told the world that if they had followed the right procedures, the court should rule in their favour.
