Naija News reports that the group made the appeal in a statement issued on Friday by its spokesperson, Dr Habibu Sale Mohammed.

In the statement, the movement expressed confidence in the integrity and independence of the apex court but emphasised the need for a timely decision given the urgency of the matter.

“The Kwankwasiyya Movement wishes to address members of the African Democratic Congress, our supporters, and all Nigerians regarding the ongoing proceedings before the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

“While we remain confident in the integrity, independence and sense of responsibility of the Supreme Court, we consider it necessary to respectfully highlight the urgency surrounding this matter,” the statement read.

The group noted that the ongoing legal uncertainty has placed the party under pressure, particularly as electoral processes are governed by strict timelines.

“As it stands, the current situation has placed our party in a race against time,” the statement said.

“The absence of a clear and final determination inevitably constrains the ability of the party to fully organise, mobilise and participate effectively within the democratic space.”

Kwankwasiyya urged the court to consider not only the legal merits of the case but also the time-sensitive implications for democratic participation and political stability.

“It is our hope that the Supreme Court will consider not only the legal merits of the case but also the urgency of the issues involved,” Mohammed said.

The group added that the apex court has, over the years, demonstrated that justice must be both fair and timely.

“The Court has demonstrated that justice, to be truly meaningful, must not only be fair but also timely, particularly in matters with direct implications for democratic participation and national stability,” the statement added.

The movement expressed optimism that the court would act in a manner that safeguards Nigeria’s democracy and judicial integrity.

“We are confident that the Supreme Court, in exercising its constitutional mandate, will act in a manner that preserves both the integrity of the judiciary and the vitality of Nigeria’s multiparty democracy,” it said.

Kwankwasiyya also urged its members and supporters to remain calm and united while awaiting the court’s decision.

“To our members and supporters, we urge patience, unity and continued commitment to lawful and democratic engagement. This moment calls for resolve and confidence in the institutions that underpin our democracy,” the statement said.

Reaffirming its position, the group expressed confidence that justice would be delivered in a fair and timely manner.

“The Kwankwasiyya Movement remains assured that justice will prevail, timely, fairly and in the best interest of Nigeria,” the statement concluded.
