 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.

TUNISIA SUMMONS EU AMBASSADOR OVER 'DIPLOMATIC BREACH'. (PHOTO).


 Tunisia summons EU ambassador over 'diplomatic breach'


Tunisian President Kais Saied summoned the EU ambassador to protest what he called a diplomatic breach after the EU official met the head of a powerful union this week, amid rising tensions with the country’s largest civil-society group.


EU ambassador Giuseppe Perrone met Monday with UGTT leader Noureddine Taboubi, praising the union’s Nobel Peace Prize–winning role in 2015 and stressing continued cooperation with Tunisia’s civil society.


"Saied conveyed a strongly worded protest over the failure to adhere to diplomatic protocols and acting outside the official channels," the presidency said in a statement on Wednesday, Reuters reported.


Tunisia’s government has faced criticism for targeting civil society groups, leading to the suspension of many groups including Democratic Women, Nawaat Journalists, and the Economic and Social Forum.


Restrictions on rights groups


Rights groups have said the crackdown on rights groups has reached critical levels with arbitrary arrests, detentions, asset freezes, banking restrictions and suspensions targeting 14 NGOs.


While the UGTT, with its one million members, has not yet faced any official decisions, it has voiced complaints about restrictions on trade union rights and the unilateral suspension of agreements with the authorities.


This month, the union also threatened to launch a nationwide strike “in defence of trade union rights,” amid a crippling economic and political crisis that has sparked protests from opposition groups, unions, journalists, banks, and doctors.


The EU, Tunisia’s largest trading partner and a key ally for decades, has seen relations sour since Saied seized almost all power in 2021 and began ruling by decrees, a move the opposition calls a coup.
