 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.

 Industrial Court Denies Reinstating Suspended Lagos Assembly Clerk


The National Industrial Court has criticized Olalekan Onafeko, the suspended Clerk of the Lagos State House of Assembly, for taking matters into his own hands, clarifying that it never ordered his reinstatement.


Onafeko had forcefully taken over the office of Acting Clerk Taiwo Ottun, claiming that the court had reinstated him. However, during the hearing on Tuesday, the court stated that its directive was merely for all parties to maintain peace and avoid actions that could disrupt the state's stability until the motion on notice is heard.


Expressing surprise at the misinterpretation of its ruling, the court adjourned the matter to March 18, 2025, for the hearing of all pending applications.


Senior Advocate of Nigeria, O.O. Oniyire, informed Justice M.N. Esowe that Onafeko had broken into the office, issued misleading press statements about his reinstatement, and allegedly used security operatives to intimidate the acting Clerk.


The court had earlier, on February 20, 2025, declined Onafeko’s request for an ex-parte order restraining the respondents, citing the extensive nature of his claims. Instead, it ruled that both parties should maintain peace and the status quo until the case is properly heard.
