 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.

LAMIDO OF ADAMAWA RETAINS COUNCIL OF CHIEFS CHAIRMANSHIP AS ASSEMBLY CLARIFIES ROTATION REPORTS. (PHOTO).


 Lamido of Adamawa Retains Council of Chiefs Chairmanship as Assembly Clarifies Rotation Reports


The Lamido of Adamawa, Alhaji Muhammadu Mustapha, will continue to serve as the permanent chairman of the Adamawa State Council of Chiefs, the State House of Assembly confirmed on Friday. This clarification comes after reports claimed that the Lamido had been stripped of the position and that a bill had been passed to introduce a rotational chairmanship among other emirs and chiefs.


Musa Mahmud, Chairman of the Assembly's Standing Committee on Information, addressed the media at the state assembly complex in Yola, rejecting the claims as false. He emphasized that the Assembly had not passed any bill to remove the Lamido from his role.


“The allegation that the House passed a bill removing the Lamido of Adamawa from his chairmanship position and instituting a rotational system is incorrect,” Mahmud stated.


He further clarified that the bill specifies the Lamido of Adamawa as the chairman of the State Council of Chiefs, as outlined in Section 18(II). However, the media attention surrounding the bill was related to the creation of zonal traditional councils, which include provisions for rotational chairmanship within those councils.


Mahmud explained that while the rotational chairmanship applies to the new zonal traditional councils — covering the Central, Northern, and Southern zones — all zonal chairmen will still report to the state chairman, who remains the Lamido of Adamawa.
