 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.

U.N AGENTS ARRIVE IN EASTERN DRC TOWN OF UVIRA TO PREPARE CEASEFIRE MISSION. (PHOTO).


 UN agents arrive in eastern DRC town of Uvira to prepare ceasefire mission


A team of UN peacekeepers arrived in the flashpoint eastern Democratic Republic of Congo town of Uvira to prepare the deployment of a ceasefire‑monitoring mission, the force said on Tuesday.


Eastern DRC has experienced protracted conflict and faces renewed fighting.


The M23 rebel group seized large swathes of territory in the east and launched an offensive in December on Uvira, a strategic town in South Kivu province near the border with Burundi.


The offensive drew widespread condemnation.


Ceasefire efforts


That agreement provided for the UN's DRC peacekeeping mission MONUSCO to carry out a field-monitoring operation with a view to implementing a permanent ceasefire.


On Tuesday, MONUSCO and the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region, a grouping of surrounding countries, said in a statement they had deployed a joint exploratory and preliminary assessment mission to Uvira.


Scheduled to run until Friday, the mission focuses on assessing access, security, logistics and engagement needs, MONUSCO said, AFP reported.


The statement called the mission "an essential step towards deploying the future joint ceasefire‑monitoring mechanism."


Withdrawal from Uvira


In January, the M23 withdrew its last troops from Uvira, claiming it was responding to a US request.


The Congolese army said it had retaken control of the town.
