 Wike Dismisses Reports of PDP Split, Insists Party Remains United Ahead of National Convention The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, **Nyesom Wike**, on Wednesday rejected claims of a division within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), declaring that the party is intact and fully united as it prepares for its national convention scheduled for March 29 and 30, 2026.

 The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has strongly condemned human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, over his conduct at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday, describing it as a clear disruption of courtroom decorum and an affront to the dignity of the judiciary. In a statement issued on Wednesday and signed by its President, Afam Osigwe, SAN, the NBA said Sowore entered the courtroom accompanied by individuals carrying camera phones and recording equipment, and proceeded to set up what appeared to be preparations for a press conference inside the court premises. The association noted that Sowore’s team attended to him “in a manner akin to a broadcast setting,” after which he moved into the inner bar, sat on a table and began addressing a range of national issues, even though his case was not listed for hearing and he was not accompanied by any legal practitioner. The incident reportedly led to tension in the courtroom and a confrontation with a...

 Court nullifies CBN’s sack of Union Bank’s board, restores core shareholders In a landmark judgment, a federal high court sitting in Lagos has ruled that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) acted beyond its powers when it sacked the board and management of Union Bank of Nigeria in January 2024. Delivering the judgment on Wednesday morning, Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke quashed all the decisions and steps taken by the CBN-appointed board and ordered that the former board and management be restored. The court also prohibited the CBN and its appointed board and their agents from taking any step or continuing any steps towards recapitalisation or any other related act. In January 2024, the CBN announced the dissolution of the board and management of the Union Bank, appointing Yetunde Oni as the managing director/chief executive officer and Mannir Ubali Ringim as the executive director. The core shareholders, Titan Trust, Luxis International and Magna International,  launched the litiga...
