Aondowase Raises Explosive Claims Over ADC Judiciary Plot
ADC judiciary compromise allegations emerge as Aondowase claims plot to influence judiciary and block ADC participation in 2027 elections
Public affairs analyst and civic society advocate Julius Aondowase has alleged that the Presidency under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is exploring measures to influence the judiciary in a bid to weaken the African Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Aondowase made the claim in a statement issued on Tuesday, asserting that growing momentum around the African Democratic Congress, particularly in northern Nigeria, has triggered concern within the ruling political establishment.
According to him, the ADC judiciary compromise allegations stem from an alleged high level meeting reportedly held in Abuja on Monday, which he said involved Senior Advocates of Nigeria and members of the judiciary.
He claimed the discussions centred on strategies aimed at preventing the opposition party from participating in the forthcoming elections.
He further alleged that the outcome of the meeting included plans to challenge the legitimacy of the party’s leadership structure, particularly the National Working Committee led by former Senate President David Mark.
Aondowase suggested that ongoing litigation surrounding the party is part of a broader political strategy.
Aondowase described the alleged development as a serious threat to democratic processes, warning that attempts to manipulate judicial outcomes could undermine public confidence in state institutions.
He maintained that such actions, if true, would represent a deliberate effort to control opposition parties ahead of the 2027 elections.
The analyst also linked the situation to wider political tensions, noting that the rising profile of the African Democratic Congress has continued to attract attention from both supporters and critics across the political spectrum.
He argued that the party’s growing influence may be reshaping early calculations ahead of the next general election.
These allegations come amid a series of political statements and counter-statements from various stakeholders regarding the strength and future of opposition parties in Nigeria.
No official response has been issued by the Presidency or the All Progressives Congress regarding the claims.

As political activities intensify, attention is expected to remain on developments surrounding party structures, legal disputes and the broader dynamics shaping the 2027 electoral landscape.
A group, the Imo First Group (IFG) has described the purported Magistrate court order to arrest Senator Ifeanyi Araraume and the former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, over alleged criminal conspiracy and forgery, as a ruse and fake news
The group stated this in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja.
IFG challenged those peddling the fake news to make the court order public.
The statement reads ” The fabricated and concocted story was first posted on social media by Hon. Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, a media aide to Governor Hope Uzodimma, before it was picked up by other media outfits, including Arise TV.
According to the statement, those behind the report claimed that a Senior Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja issued a Bench Warrant dated September 9, 2026, following a petition written by the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Imo State, Barr. Chukwuemeka Ibejiako, to the Police and DSS on October 8, 2026, over alleged presentation of fake APC primary results.
The Group debunked the existence of any such order.
“We want to state categorically and unequivocally that no jSenior Magistrate ordered or issued any bench warrant for the arrest of Araraume”
IFG however challenged anyone in possession of the purported court order to publish it.
“If you claim to have a court order present same for the public to see,
“This fabricated bench warrant contain in the report is filled with inconsistencies, the bench warrant was dated September 9, 2026, while the REC’s petition that supposedly triggered it was dated October 8, 2026, with case number CR/M/084/2026.
The statement further stated that the purveyors and harbinger of the fake news tried to trick the magistrate via exparte order but was rebuked
“The magistrate bluntly refused to grant their exparte and threatened to arrest them, yet they carried their falsehood about. What’s the problem of occupants of office that never won free and fair elections and tried to destroy reputable Imo sons that have won elections. We challenge anyone in this macabre surugede dance to show the court order or warrant of arrest. It’s preposterous to blackmail decent Imo sons on the altar of dirty politics.”
