A Nigerian court has nullified the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar and dismissed all candidates fielded by the African Democratic Congress, along with the party's leadership.
The ruling, if it stands on appeal, would bar the ADC from participating in the upcoming general elections entirely. The party had been seen as a significant challenger to the ruling All Progressives Congress.
Whether higher courts will uphold or overturn the decision is now the question every opposition watcher in the country is asking.
