 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.

 ‘They started dirty December in November’ — Lere Olayinka mocks PDP over Wike’s expulsion


Lere Olayinka, the media aide to Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), has described the ongoing national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a “social party”. 

On Saturday, at the PDP national convention taking place in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, the opposition party expelled Wike and 10 other members.

Some names on the expulsion list include Samuel Anyanwu, PDP’s suspended national secretary, and Ayo Fayose, former governor of Ekiti.

However, in a statement on Saturday evening, Olayinka said those present at the convention decided to “start dirty December in November”, adding that “one can’t but ignore whatever comes out of their mouths”.

The FCT minister’s spokesperson added that the decisions made at the event were irrelevant, noting that “they are free to say anything.”

“They went to Ibadan to start dirty December in November,” the statement reads.

“When people decided to start their own dirty December in November, one can’t but ignore whatever comes out of their mouths. They are free to say anything.”

In recent months, the Wike-led PDP faction had sought to halt the convention through the courts, but the party secured a high court judgement in Oyo allowing the event to proceed.
