 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.

 Edo Assembly Suspends Local Council Chairpersons Over Alleged Misconduct


The Edo State House of Assembly has suspended the chairpersons and vice chairpersons of all 18 local governments for two months due to alleged insubordination and gross misconduct. The decision, made during a plenary session on Tuesday, followed a petition from Governor Monday Okpebholo. 


The suspension stems from the council leaders’ failure to submit their financial records as instructed by the governor. On December 3, Governor Okpebholo had given the chairpersons 48 hours to provide their financial statements from September 2023 onward to the Edo State Assets Verification Committee. He described their non-compliance as insubordination and gross misconduct, prompting his request for the House to take action.


In the resolution, the House also mandated that the leaders of the legislative arms in the local governments assume control of the councils during the suspension period. 


The motion for suspension was introduced by Isibor Adeh (APC, Esan North East 1) and seconded by Donald Okogbe (PDP, Akoko-Edo II). After a debate, the Speaker, Blessing Agbebaku, called for a vote, which saw 14 members in favor, 6 opposed, and 3 abstentions.
