Isaac Fayose, younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, has questioned the circumstances surrounding the Federal High Court judgment that nullified the process which produced former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections.
Fayose described the judgment as suspicious, urging Atiku to carefully study its details, insisting that he would discover something questionable.
Naija News reports that Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja had on Thursday nullified the David Mark-led leadership of the ADC and voided the process that produced Atiku as the party’s presidential candidate.
Reacting to the development in a video shared on his verified Facebook page, Fayose expressed concern over the state of Nigeria’s judiciary, alleging that the institution was no longer independent.
He also criticised the growing interest of Nigerian youths in online controversies, rather than issues affecting the country’s political future.
Speaking directly to Atiku, Fayose urged the former Vice President to consider putting aside political differences and joining forces with Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said:
“Atiku should go and study that judgment very well; he will notice something fishy.
“Our judiciary is no longer independent. Look at our youths; they are more interested in online sagas.
“Please, Atiku, this is the time to join forces with Peter Obi in the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, to pursue the All Progressives Congress, APC, out of power.”
Fayose’s intervention has added another dimension to the unfolding political controversy surrounding the ADC leadership crisis and the opposition’s preparations for the 2027 presidential election.

### Atiku In Fresh Political Trouble? Isaac Fayose Spots ‘Something Fishy’ In Court Ruling, Makes Unexpected Appeal To Peter Obi
Isaac Fayose has raised fresh questions over the Federal High Court judgment that nullified the process producing Atiku Abubakar as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate for the 2027 elections.
The younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose described the ruling as suspicious, warning that Atiku could discover something troubling if he carefully examined the court’s decision.
The controversy followed Thursday’s judgment by Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja, which nullified the David Mark-led ADC leadership and voided the process that produced Atiku as the party’s presidential flagbearer.
Reacting to the development in a Facebook video, Fayose questioned the independence of Nigeria’s judiciary, expressing concern about what he considered troubling developments in the country’s political system.
But beyond his criticism of the judgment, Fayose made a striking appeal that could spark another round of political debate.
He urged Atiku to abandon any hesitation about working with Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), arguing that a united opposition would stand a better chance of removing the APC from power.
“Atiku should go and study that judgment very well; he will notice something fishy,” he declared.
He added: “Please, Atiku, this is the time to join forces with Peter Obi in the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, to pursue the All Progressives Congress, APC, out of power.”
Fayose’s comments have brought renewed attention to the opposition’s political calculations ahead of 2027, particularly the possibility of cooperation between Atiku and Obi.
The big question now is whether the court ruling will deepen the opposition crisis or push its leading figures towards an unexpected political alliance.
