 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...

 Massive wildfires in south Georgia burn over 40,000 acres, destroy more than 120 homes amid extreme drought and high winds

Two massive wildfires in south Georgia have burned more than 40,000 acres and destroyed over 120 homes, as extreme drought and strong winds continue to drive dangerous fire conditions across the region.

Officials said the dry landscape has become highly flammable, allowing flames to spread rapidly and forcing new evacuations as additional fires ignited overnight in rural areas. At a Saturday news conference, Brantley County Manager Joey Cason described the situation as rapidly evolving and urged residents in affected areas to leave immediately when ordered, warning that officials have limited control over the fires’ direction.

“Leave the scene. This fire is moving at a fast pace, and we do not have much control over where it’s currently moving. Please leave,” Cason said, as evacuation orders expanded.

Residents have described devastating losses. One woman said she fled with four children and 10 dogs to Florida while watching her home burn through security cameras before losing signal. Another resident said he lost his automotive business, which he had operated since 1996, and that insurance would not cover the damage.

Authorities said the Brantley Highway 82 Fire, which began earlier in the week, has destroyed at least 87 homes and is now considered one of the most destructive wildfires in Georgia's history. A second major blaze in Clinch and Echols counties, near the Florida border, has burned at least 35 homes and was about 10% contained. Officials said that the fire was sparked by welding activity.

State leaders said federal officials have identified both fires as among the most severe currently burning in the country. One of the blazes is believed to have started after a party balloon caused a spark on a power line.

The combined fires continue to grow, with the Brantley County blaze covering more than 9,500 acres and the Pineland Road Fire approaching 32,000 acres as of Saturday.

More than 150 additional wildfires are also burning across Georgia and Florida, sending smoke across the region and triggering air quality alerts. Officials warned fire conditions are expected to remain extreme through the weekend as crews continue battling the blazes.
