 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...

 South Sudan deploys troops to secure key Heglig oil field in Sudan


South Sudan has sent its troops to neighbouring Sudan to guard the strategic Heglig oil field near the border, its military head said on Thursday, days after the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) took control of it.


Heglig houses the main processing facility for South Sudanese oil, which makes up the bulk of South Sudan's public revenues. Some oil has continued to flow through Heglig, though at much reduced volumes.


Sudanese government forces and workers at the Heglig oil field withdrew from the area on Sunday to avoid fighting that could have damaged facilities there, government sources told Reuters on Monday.


General Paul Nang, South Sudan chief of defence forces, said the troop deployment was agreed between South Sudan's President Salva Kiir, Sudan Army Chief General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and RSF head Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo.


‘Important strategic area’


"The three agreed that the area of Heglig should be protected because (it) is a very important strategic area for the two countries," Nang said in comments on state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Radio.


"Now it is the forces of South Sudan that are in Heglig."


Oil is transported through the Greater Nile pipeline system to Port Sudan on the Red Sea for export, making the Heglig site critical both for Sudan's foreign exchange earnings and for South Sudan, which is landlocked and relies almost entirely on pipelines through Sudan.


Another pipeline, Petrodar, runs from South Sudan's Upper Nile State to Port Sudan.


The war that started in April 2023 between the Sudanese army and the RSF has repeatedly disrupted South Sudan's oil flows, which before the conflict averaged between 100,000 and 150,000 barrels per day for export via Sudan.
