 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.

 I’m Yoruba, I’ve Nothing In Common With Northern Nigeria —Kemi Badenoch


The head of UK Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has sparked fresh identity controversy after saying she identifies herself as Youruba and has nothing in common with Northern Nigeria.


Speaking with British media recently, Badenoch detached herself from Northern Nigeria, which she referred to as a haven for Islamism and Boko Haram.


“I find it interesting that everybody defines me as being Nigerian. I identify less with the country than with the specific ethnicity [Yoruba],” she said,


“I have nothing in common with the people from the north of the country, the Boko Haram where Islamism is.


“Being Yoruba is my true identity, and I refuse to be lumped with northern people of Nigeria, who ‘were our ethnic enemies, ’ all in the name of being called a Nigerian.


“Somebody once told me when I was very young that my surname was a name for people who were warriors. They protected the crown, and that’s what I see myself as doing.


“I am here to protect, and I will die protecting this country because I know what’s out there.”


Badenoch’s recent interviews with British media triggered a war of words between her and Vice-President Kashim Shettima who publicly urged her to drop her Nigerian name.


She has also come under criticism from Nigerians over her view about the state of the nation and corruption by public officials.
