Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar says Nigeria’s 2027 general election should be decided at the ballot box rather than through court actions. He speaks after the Court of Appeal overturns a prior decision from the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court had sought to remove the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and other political parties from Nigeria’s democratic space. Atiku’s position frames the dispute as one that should not be settled through litigation, arguing instead for resolving the political process through elections. The reports describe his comments as a response to the Court of Appeal ruling that reverses the Federal High Court judgment. Both outlets agree on the core points: Atiku’s statement about contesting elections at the ballot, the involvement of the Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court, and the effect of the earlier court action that targeted ADC and other parties. Overall, the coverage focuses on Atiku’s reaction to the latest appellate decision and his call to keep the electoral contest grounded in voting.
