 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...

INSIDE TINUBU'S MEETING WITH NEW ALAAFIN IN ABUJA – WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. (PHOTO).


 Inside Tinubu's meeting with new Alaafin in Abuja – What really happened


President Bola Tinubu on Friday threw his weight behind Nigeria’s royal institutions, declaring them critical partners in his government’s drive to deliver prosperity, unity, and reform.

Hosting the newly crowned 46th Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Abimbola Abdulhakeem Owoade I, at the Presidential Villa, Tinubu called on traditional leaders to take a front-row seat in the country’s transformation.

“This throne you sit on is divine,” Tinubu told the monarch. “Just like my presidency—it is the will of the Almighty.”

The President congratulated the young monarch for emerging as Alaafin with dignity, praising his humility, cultural pride, and commitment to the Yoruba heritage—even from abroad.

“You have lifted the name of Oyo, even while in Canada,” Tinubu said. “Now, you return home to carry the legacy forward. The Yoruba race has a future in your hands.”

The royal visit, which included the monarch’s wife, Abiwumi, and a host of top Oyo traditional rulers, was rich in pageantry but also purpose. Tinubu used the moment to call for deeper collaboration with traditional institutions, saying Nigeria’s future demands shared responsibility.

“This is not a job for one man,” he said. “Our unity, stability, and prosperity depend on inclusive governance. The palace and the presidency must work together.”

The President revealed that sons of the Oyo kingdom—Ambassador Victor Adeleke and Colonel Nurudeen Alowonle Yusuf—have made him proud in Aso Rock, further tying the Yoruba royal legacy to the heart of national leadership.

On his part, Alaafin Owoade I struck a statesmanlike tone, pledging loyalty to the Tinubu-led administration and calling for a national rebirth founded on justice, equity, and inclusive development.

“You have conquered many battles with courage and compassion,” the monarch said. “Today, Nigerians are hungry for a new vision—one that brings hope, fairness, and progress to every corner of this nation. Oyo stands with you. The Yoruba are ready. Nigeria is ready.” Nigeria: Nigerian fashion

The Alaafin praised the President for “bold steps” in revamping the economy, empowering youth, and prioritising security, adding that Nigeria’s renaissance would require synergy between time-honoured royal wisdom and modern statecraft.

“National transformation cannot rest on government alone,” the king said. “It must come from a marriage of heritage and innovation, of palace and policy.”

With traditional rulers now being positioned as stakeholders in Nigeria’s democratic journey, Friday’s encounter at Aso Rock signals a renewed alliance between crown and country—one Tinubu insists is essential for lasting peace and progress.
