NDC Leader Assures Candidates After Lokoja Court Setback
The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress has appealed to all party candidates, including Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, to stay committed despite the recent Federal High Court judgment in Lokoja. He dismissed reports that anyone would leave the party and said all candidates remain on course to be uploaded onto the INEC portal. He emphasised that the party has not been deregistered and will contest the 2027 election. He also confirmed that the NDC will challenge the ruling through the appellate courts rather than report the judge to the National Judicial Council. He expressed confidence in Nigeria’s judiciary and urged members to remain steadfast.
