 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 pa...

A former Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku A former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has bemoaned the rising insecurity in his home state of Nasarawa. Maku, who is also the National Secretary of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), told newsmen in Abuja that residents of the state were now living on the edge as kidnappers and bandits have taken over virtually every nook and cranny of the North central state. According to him, kidnappers, who now abduct villagers and peasants, collect as low as N50,000 as ransom from victims before they are freed. He was speaking when leaders of APGA from Nasarawa State visited the new national headquarters of the party in Abuja.
“Anambra is the most peaceful State in Nigeria. In Nasarawa State, people sleep with one eye opened. A permanent secretary was kidnapped recently. Kidnappings in Nasarawa State does not make news anymore. Kidnappers collect as low as N50,000 ransom from rural dwellers in Nasarawa. “People are no longer safe. There are accumulated arrears of pension in Nasarawa State. There is corruption and things are getting bad. We will not betray the hope of the people. Playing opposition politics in Nigeria is difficult. “I am aware that people are going from house to house to bribe members of APGA to dump the party. Some may succumb to this pressure because of the economic hardship in the land. In Nasarawa, what we have is politics of violence and underdevelopment. We will continue to support State chapters of APGA in Nigeria,” Maku said. “Look at what is happening in other parties and the level of development that is taking place the states they control. Anambra is far ahead both in terms of security and economic development.” Anambra State is being governed by Willie Obiano, a member of APGA. According to Maku, APGA should be seeking to export its achievements in good governance to other parts of the country by winning the states not only in Anambra. The former Minister said in 2021, the party will replicate its exploits in 2017 when the party won majority votes in all the 21 local government areas in Anambra State during the governorship election.
