 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...

NIGERIA ABSENT,AS AFRICAN LEADERS HEAD TO KYIV, MOSCOW ON MISSION.(PHOTO).



A group of African leaders trying to broker peace in the war in Ukraine will launch their mission to Moscow and Kyiv next month, a senior South African government official said Wednesday.

However, no leader from Nigeria was mentioned among the emissaries that would be meeting the parties in the Ukraine-Russia war.

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced Tuesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have “agreed to receive” African heads of state in Moscow and Kyiv.

Leaders of Zambia, Senegal, the Republic of Congo, Uganda, Egypt and South Africa, will lead the initiative which has been welcomed by the UN.

The dates must be confirmed,” Zane Dangor, the director-general in South Africa’s Foreign Affairs ministry, told lawmakers.

“But it will be early in June where the six heads of state will be shuttling between the two capitals to engage in the facilitating of peace talks or at least get towards a ceasefire.”

“We have also engaged with other actors including the US. There is general support for this initiative,” he said.

South Africa, which has close ties to the Kremlin since the anti-apartheid struggle years, has refused to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, saying it is “neutral” and prefers dialogue.

The peace plan bid could help Pretoria spruce up its image as a neutral player and mediator, following accusations that it has drifted towards Russia.

The announcement came a day after it emerged that South Africa’s ground forces commander was in Moscow to discuss military cooperation.


It was also made days after the US envoy to Pretoria accused South Africa of shipping weapons and ammunition to Russia in December.


South Africa held controversial joint military drills with Russia and China early this year.


It is due to host a summit of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) countries in August to which Putin has been invited.
