 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.

AGF DENIES FG'S INVOLVEMENT IN FIRST HOLDCO SHARE ACQUISITION. (PHOTO). #PRESS RELEASE.



STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE


AGF denies FG's involvement in First Holdco Share Acquisition


We are compelled to respond to a publication by ThisDay Newspaper of July 17, 2025, and Arise TV suggesting that 25% of First Bank Holdings (First Holdco) shares were transferred to the Federal Government of Nigeria's (FGN) trustee. 


The report is inaccurate, misleading, resentful and malicious.


Neither the Federal Government of Nigeria nor the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice participated in acquiring the shares in question. 


The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice debunks this falsehood to prevent confusion or misconceptions about First Holdco's ownership and governance. 


The circumstances surrounding the shareholding structure are distinct from any government involvement. 


However,  it is aware of a trustee set up by the First Holdco, with the CBN approving Stanbic IBTC to oversee it as a third party. 


We urge the media to exercise restraint, professionalism, and due diligence in carrying out their duties to avoid violating the law.


We assure the public of continuous commitment to the promotion of the Rule of Law, Justice, equity, accountability, transparency and service to the nation by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


Kamarudeen Ogundele,

S A to the President on Communication and Publicity,

Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice
