 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.

 Ramadan Crescent Moon Sighted In Saudi Arabia


The crescent moon, which marks the beginning of the Holy month of Ramadan, has been sighted in Saudi Arabia.


The moon was reportedly spotted on Sunday evening, meaning March 10 is the last day of the month of Sha’ban and the holy month will begin on Monday, March 11.


Ramadan, determined by the lunar Islamic calendar in which months span either 29 or 30 days, commences and concludes based on the sighting of the crescent moon.


Saudi Arabia authorities had earlier called on Muslims to sight the crescent of the holy month of Ramadan.


Seven Tips for Observing the Ramadan in Hot Weather

As we get set for 1445AH Ramadan

The Supreme Court had called on whoever sighted the crescent to report to the nearest court and register their observation.


Australia, Malaysia, Philippines and Brunei have announced March 12 as the beginning of Ramadan.


But Oman has announced that it will observe the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan on March 12, Tuesday, as there was no sighting of the crescent moon on Sunday evening.


Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam.


Ramadan is the ninth month of Islamic calendar that takes place for four weeks and two days during which Muslims all over the world fast between dawn and sunset, pray for peace and guidance, give back to the community in the form of charity or zakaat or engage in humanitarian activities such as feeding the underprivileged and introspect to enlighten their souls.


The fasting date changes yearly because the Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle hence, its starting and end date depends upon the sighting of the crescent moon.
