I Feel Sorry For Her – Nwosu Speaks On Supreme Court Chief Justice Kekere-Ekun Over Lifu’s Judgement

Former National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Ralph Nwosu, has predicted that Atiku Abubakar will emerge as Nigeria’s next president on January 16, 2027, and be sworn into office on May 29, 2027. Nwosu made the prediction during an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, while addressing the ADC leadership crisis following a recent ruling by Justice Lifu nullifying David Mark’s leadership of the party.

Speaking during the interview, the former ADC chairman expressed confidence in Atiku’s anticipated emergence as president. He said, “By January 16th, Atiku Abubakar will be elected the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. And by May 29th, he will be sworn in as the president. And this will happen in our face, because we have set the strategic compass, and we follow it. All that is happening is that some people are conspiring to try to work that part, but they cannot.”

The former ADC chairman specifically mentioned Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, saying he felt sorry for her over what was happening within the judiciary. Explaining his personal connection with the jurist, Nwosu recalled meeting her approximately 30 years ago when she was serving at the High Court in Ikeja, Lagos.

He said, “I feel some pains for the judiciary, especially for Kekere Ekun, who happens to be in charge now in the head of the Supreme Court. Why do I do that? I remember about 30 years ago, I met that lady, then very professional. I met her in the High Court in Ikeja. I bought the land, and somehow, some people were trying to take it away from me. That was my encounter with her.”

Reflecting on the Supreme Court’s current position, Nwosu again expressed sympathy for the jurist, citing her position at the helm of the judiciary. He added, “Then, for what is happening now at the Supreme Court, that’s at the judiciary, where she happened to be at the helm of affairs, I feel sorry for her.”
