 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.

 ‘No Kings’ protests against Trump planned nationwide as GOP denounces them as ‘hate America’ rallies


Thousands of demonstrators are expected to rally in Washington, D.C., and cities across the country on Saturday for “No Kings” protests denouncing the leadership of President Donald Trump. The nationwide demonstrations, which organizers describe as a defense of democracy and civil liberties, coincide with the 18th day of a government shutdown that has disrupted federal operations and intensified tensions between the White House and Congress. Organizers say the rallies aim to highlight concerns about Trump’s expanding executive power, which they view as an erosion of the nation’s democratic foundations. Trump, meanwhile, is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, where protests are also expected nearby.

The “No Kings” movement marks the third major wave of demonstrations since Trump’s return to office, with organizers calling this weekend’s event the largest yet—featuring more than 2,600 rallies coordinated nationwide. Top Democratic figures, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Bernie Sanders, are lending their support to the protests, framing them as a “love America” response to what they see as the president’s authoritarian tendencies. Republican leaders, however, have condemned the gatherings, labeling them “hate America” rallies and accusing Democrats of siding with far-left activists at the expense of reopening the government. House Speaker Mike Johnson dismissed participants as “Marxists” and “antifa types,” while Democrats countered that the protests represent patriotic resistance against political extremism. With the government still shuttered and partisan divisions deepening, the rallies have become a symbolic battleground over how Americans define democracy, dissent, and the limits of presidential power.
