@PeterObi Who controls the current Police?
I dont think State Police is required to rig if FG currently controls the Police. They can simply use the current architecture to do their bidding.
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.

Anambra LG Chairman Sentenced to 5 Years imprisonment Over $3.5 Million Romance Sc@m in U.S
Franklin Ikechukwu Nwadialo, chairman of Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State, has been sentenced to five years in prison in the United States for orchestrating a romance sc@m that defr@uded multiple victims of more than $3.5 million.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington, the 42-year-old was sentenced by a federal court in Tacoma after being convicted for operating a long-running online fr@udscheme that targeted vulnerable individuals through dating platforms.
Nwadialo was arrested in Texas in 2024 upon arriving in the U.S. and was later charged with 14 counts of wire fr@ud. During sentencing, U.S. District Judge Tiffany M. Cartwright described the crime as devastating, saying victims suffered severe financial, emotional, and psychological harm.
Prosecutors said Nwadialo spent nearly 15 years deceiving victims by creating fake online identities and posing as a romantic partner. He allegedly targeted older individuals, especially widows and divorcees, convincing them to send money through a series of fabricated stories.
Using aliases such as “Giovanni” on dating platforms including Match, Zoosk, and Christian Café, he reportedly claimed to be a military officer deployed overseas and used stolen photographs to support his false identity. Authorities said he solicited funds for fake military fines, family emergencies, funeral expenses, school fees, and investment opportunities.
Investigators revealed that several victims lost their life savings, while one widow reportedly lost her home after selling assets to send him money. Another victim believed she was in a genuine relationship with him for three years before learning the truth through an FBI investigation.
The FBI said Nwadialo built trust with vulnerable individuals seeking companionship before exploiting them financially. The case was investigated by the FBI and prosecuted by federal attorneys Sok Tea Jiang and David T. Martin.
