 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...

RWANDA BIDS FOR FORMULA ONE HOSTING RIGHTS- PRESIDENT. (PHOTO).


 Rwanda bids for Formula One hosting rights

President 


President Paul Kagame announced on Friday Rwanda would bid to host a Formula One race in the capital, Kigali, AFP reported.


The Great Lakes nation has been actively pursuing plans to host an F1 Grand Prix, aiming to return the sport to Africa for the first time since 1993.


It is the latest step in the country's broader strategy to use sports to enhance economic growth, tourism, and global visibility.


"I am happy to formally announce that Rwanda is bidding to bring the thrill of racing back to Africa by hosting a Formula One Grand Prix," Kagame said at the opening of FIA General Assemblies in Kigali.


The Rwandan leader welcomed the FIA General Assembly being held on the continent as an "important milestone."


It signalled the "goal of the motorsport industry to connect directly with fans and aspiring drivers in Africa," he said.


"It all comes down to respect and giving everyone the chance to contribute where they can."


Critics, including Kagame's opponents, have accused his administration of sportswashing—using high-profile international events to enhance its global reputation while masking serious human rights abuses, muzzling free speech, and curtailing political freedoms.


In August, Formula One chiefs confirmed talks with Rwanda over hosting a Grand Prix, with CEO Stefano Domenicali saying the country was a "serious" option.


Domenicali told Motorsport.com Kigali had presented a serious plan, and the race would be held on a permanent track.


The announcement will also delight one of the sport's biggest superstars, Lewis Hamilton.


The seven-time world champion has long called for an African stop on the F1 circuit, backing Rwanda's plans in August and calling the country "one of my favourite places."


"It's amazing that they're so keen to get it," he told ESPN.
