 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...

 American Bar Association criticizes Trump for attacks on Supreme Court 

   The American Bar Association on Monday criticized President Donald Trump for personally attacking Supreme Court justices, urging him to exercise restraint ahead of Tuesday night’s State of the Union address.

ABA President Michelle A. Behnke said Trump’s remarks, which targeted individual justices and questioned their impartiality, “cross a dangerous line that threatens the safety of the judiciary and our judicial process.” She emphasized that while vigorous policy debate is a cornerstone of democracy, rhetoric that demeans the courts undermines public confidence and judicial independence.

The criticism follows Trump’s public attacks last Friday on the six justices who ruled against his emergency tariff powers, singling out Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett—both of whom he appointed—as “fools and lapdogs for the RINOs and the radical left Democrats.” Trump also claimed the justices’ decisions were influenced by foreign powers, though he provided no evidence.

Behnke called such claims “wholly inappropriate” and warned that personal attacks and unfounded allegations against the justices risk eroding the rule of law. She urged critiques of judicial decisions to remain grounded in facts and the law, emphasizing that the Supreme Court’s independence is essential to the health of the constitutional system.

Trump also announced on social media that he would temporarily stop capitalizing “Supreme Court,” calling the ruling “ridiculous, dumb, and very internationally divisive.” Despite the tensions, Supreme Court justices may still attend the State of the Union, though attendance is voluntary and some have opted out in past years following conflicts with the executive branch.

The White House did not comment on the ABA’s statement.
