@BashirAhmaad Now i know that your problem is illiteracy. Your type who became a judge because of his political association was giving judgement to an unregistered body against a registered political party.
@NigeriaNDCHQ No weapons fashioned against NDC shall proper! Those that vowed over their dead body will Peter Obi be in the ballot, their families should prepare for their funeral, because Peter Obi will not only be in the ballot, he will be declared the winner, in Jesus Mighty name AMEN!
NDC STATEMENT ON COURT RULING
Our attention has been drawn to a ruling by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja this morning, wherein His Lordship, Honourable Justice Isah Dashen, gave a ruling on an application filed by an unregistered association known as Peace Movement Party.
The public knows that by December 2025, the Nigeria Democratic Congress as an association complained of INEC’s refusal to register us as a political party, whereupon we proceeded to the Federal High Court. The Federal High Court upheld our constitutional right to freedom of association under the Constitution and compelled INEC to register us, which INEC did.
Since then, we have started political activities, embarked on the registration of members, held congresses from ward to national levels, held conventions, and concluded primaries to all offices following INEC’s timetable. We have been fully participating in all INEC activities without let or hindrance.
NDC also fielded candidates, and fully participated, in the just-concluded bye elections in Nasarawa and Enugu states.
Candidates for the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate, Governorship, Presidential, and Vice-Presidential positions have been duly nominated, and we are in the process of formally submitting them to INEC in accordance with INEC’s timetable.
The association that filed the complaint is unknown to us. The Peace Movement Party (PMP) is not a registered political party in Nigeria. They claimed, in a motion (not even a substantive suit or appeal), that the court should set aside its earlier judgment on the purported ground that, in 2015, they had sought registration as a political party with the victory sign as their symbol and were denied.
It is important to note that they are not an association applying for registration now under the exercise that started last year. They are also not a registered political party in Nigeria participating in the political process now, as we are.
Furthermore, the court, having delivered a final judgment in our suit against INEC, had become functus officio. The court had also dealt with all related issues concerning associations claiming they wanted to use the same symbol and colours. The court, in its judgment, overruled INEC when those issues were raised, and there is no appeal against that judgment.
Therefore, we are surprised that, on an application by an association claiming that it wanted to register as a political party with the victory sign in 2015—an association that is not a registered political party and is not seeking registration now to participate in the current political process—His Lordship came to the conclusion that they have locus standi, and furthermore, that he has jurisdiction to do what he did.
Accordingly, we have been informed that His Lordship made an order setting aside the court’s earlier decision of December 2025.
There was no order directing our deregistration. However, we are dissatisfied with the decision that has been made, and we have instructed our team of lawyers to immediately proceed to the Court of Appeal to challenge the jurisdiction and propriety of His Lordship’s order.
We assure the general public, and particularly our candidates at all levels, that our party is on course. The NDC has not been deregistered, and we are challenging today’s order at the Court of Appeal as soon as possible. We have no doubt that justice will be done.
We condemn efforts by those who seek to shrink the democratic space and stifle opposition voices and alternatives. Nigerians have a right to a full range of opinions, ideas, and alternatives, and political platforms and candidates should be allowed to participate in the 2027 general election process, which has already gone midway.

@ADCVanguard_ What of ADC presidential candidates i mean the three of them, does it mean Tinubu is also more popular than the three of them in the north, enemies of progress, the court will soon diregister you.
NDC Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has continued to demonstrate the party’s commitment to service by empowering the Onaogaji community in Kogi State with a fully functional borehole, ensuring residents have access to clean and safe drinking water.
In addition, he donated ₦10 million to the Nursing College to support healthcare education and contribute to strengthening the health sector.
NDC – Service to the People.
NDC-SERVICE 🇳🇬✅
Tinubu was leaving office as Governor of Lagos state... He left debt and created PENSION FOR LIFE with lavish severance packages for himself
Obi was leaving office as Governor of Anambra state... He left funds in USD & Naira and didn't take A PENNY with him
More than 20 other Governors copied Tinubu and created PENSION FOR LIFE for themselves for SERVING the people... None is yet to copy Obi.
Now you see why they don't like him 😁😁😁
