 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.

 How Yar’adua told me to step down for MKO Abiola – Atiku


Former Vice President Atiku Abubukar has recalled how he was ordered by his late political mentor, Shehu Musa Yar’adua, to step down for MKO Abiola.


Speaking in an interview with Adesuwa Giwa-Osagie of Untold Stories, Atiku revealed that Yar’adua gave him the instruction during the Social Democratic Party (SDP) primaries in the 1993 presidential election.


According to Atiku, SDP governors threatened to withdraw their support if Abiola picked him instead of Babagana Kingibe.


Atiku shared, “I think there have been some misinterpretation or misrepresentation of what actually happened, even though I had in the past addressed the circumstances surrounding that incident.


“So I told him, ‘Look, if you don’t come to Jos, there is every likelihood that Kingibe is going to be elected, and I know you don’t want it. So you better come to Jos, no matter how late.’


“And he drove all the way from Kaduna to Jos. By the time he came to Jos, it was about three or four a.m. And he called for a meeting in Kwande’s house. I do not know what he discussed with the late MKO Abiola.


“I was not privy to the meeting, and he did not tell me. But when we got to the meeting in Ambassador Kwande’s house, all he told me was that, ‘Turaki.’ I said, ‘Yes, sir.’


“He said, ‘Step down for MKO Abiola.’ I said, ‘Okay, sir. I have stepped down.”
