Adewole Adebayo, the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, has publicly criticized a recent Federal High Court ruling that led to the deregistration of several political parties, including the African Democratic Congress and the Accord Party. In a statement shared on his X handle, Adebayo labeled the court's decision as unconstitutional and detrimental to Nigeria's democratic development, emphasizing that such judicial actions hinder political inclusion. He expressed solidarity with the affected parties and offered legal support to contest the ruling, while also advocating for constitutional reforms to limit the powers of the Independent National Electoral Commission regarding party registration. Adebayo underscored the importance of maintaining a robust democratic environment, urging that political associations should be allowed to participate freely in elections.
