 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...

 More troubles in Lagos Assembly as Obasa files corruption case against Meranda in court


An Ikeja High Court on Monday extended the hearing of the suit filed by the reinstated Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, until March 17.

Obasa is challenging the allegations that led to his initial removal as speaker, which include fraud, high-handedness, abuse of office, and gross misconduct.

The respondents in the suit are members of the state assembly and former speaker, Mojisola Meranda.

During the resumed hearing, Lead Counsel for the House of Assembly, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), informed the court that Obasa’s Lead Counsel, Mr. Afolabi Fasanu (SAN), had served additional affidavits.

These affidavits contained serious fraud allegations against Meranda.

The additional affidavits prompted Meranda’s counsel, Mr. Tayo Oyetibo (SAN), to request an adjournment to respond to the new application.

“There are serious fraud allegations in the further affidavits my learned brother (Femi Falana) referred to. We shall be asking for an adjournment to respond to the new application,” Oyetibo said.

More drama also unfolded in court as Obasa unilaterally changed the counsel representing the Assembly in court.

This prompted Mr Olusola Idowu (SAN) to announce appearance as an incoming counsel, to represent the House of Assembly in the case. However, Falana kicked against the decision by Obasa.

Falana thereafter prayed the court to hear application on the change of counsel.

Falana argued that Court of Appeal decision had mandated a trial court to hear application for change of counsel before any other applications could be entertained.

Justice Yetunde Pinheiro, however, held that the hearing of all applications and processes before the court would be taken at once.

Pinheiro ordered all parties to file, serve and exchange their processes before the next adjourned date.

“All the applications will be taken at once.

“All applications including those seeking injunction and those challenging jurisdiction will be heard on March 17.

“The application regarding the change of counsel will also be heard on Monday, along with the counterapplication,” she said.

The court adjourned the case until March 17 for the hearing of various applications filed by the parties.

Obasa was impeached on Jan. 13 over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office, leading to the deputy speaker’s election as his replacement.

However, on March 3, Obasa was reinstated as speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. Obasa’s return followed Meranda’s resignation.
