 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...

 Lagos: They want to pull me down – Femi Gbajabiamila breaks silence on contesting for governorship


President Bola Tinubu’s Chief of Staff (CoS), Femi Gbajabiamila, has downplayed the possibility of running for governorship in Lagos State.

Gbajabiamila said he has no time to think about becoming Lagos State governor because he is currently occupied with his duties as CoS to the president.

He attributed such claims to detractors determined to pull him down.

The president’s CoS made this disclosure while addressing the general assembly of the Surulere All Progressives Congress (APC) at the indoor hall of the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos on Saturday.

Recently, Lagos State Speaker Mudashiru Obasa and President Tinubu’s son, Seyi Tinubu, have been linked to the governorship seat.

However, speaking at the event, Gbajabiamila said:

“Some people are saying he came back from America about 20 years ago. After spending three to four years, he became the principal officer to the Minority Whip, from there he became Minority Leader, then Majority Leader, and from Majority Leader, he became Speaker.

“They thought that after becoming Speaker, his legislative career had ended, that he had reached his limit and there was nowhere else to go.

“It was like somebody going up and suddenly nosediving downward—that’s the end. Then suddenly, they heard that he was made Chief of Staff.

“They said, ‘If we sit and allow him to continue moving, he will return to Lagos to become governor.’ They think with the way I’m progressing, it’s time to quickly drag me down so I won’t have any standing in Lagos.

“Please tell them it’s not yet time for governorship. There are still two and a half years left—it’s still far. God Almighty knows who will become the next governor.

“My current job as Chief of Staff is so demanding that I can’t even finish it. I don’t have the time to be thinking about governorship.”
