Breaking News; Attorney General asks Court to deregister ADC, Accord, three other parties

The Attorney General of the Federation has urged the Federal High Court in Abuja to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister five political parties, arguing that their continued existence violates constitutional provisions and undermines Nigeria’s electoral integrity.

In court filings, the Attorney General contended that unless the court intervenes, INEC would “continue to act in breach of its constitutional duty” by retaining parties that have failed to meet the minimum requirements prescribed by law.

The filing stressed that the right to associate as a political party is not absolute and must be exercised within constitutional limits. It further argued that it is in the interest of justice for the court to grant the reliefs sought by the plaintiffs.

The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2637/2026 and filed at the Abuja Judicial Division of the Federal High Court, lists the Incorporated Trustees of the National Forum of Former Legislators as the plaintiff.

The defendants include INEC as the first defendant and the Attorney General of the Federation as the second defendant, alongside five political parties: African Democratic Congress (ADC), Action Alliance (AA), Action Peoples Party (APP), Accord (A), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).

At the center of the issue in the case is whether INEC has a constitutional obligation to remove parties that fail to meet electoral performance thresholds set out in Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and reinforced by the Electoral Act 2022 and INEC’s own regulations.

The plaintiffs argue that the affected parties have persistently failed to satisfy the constitutional benchmarks required to retain their registration. These include winning at least 25 per cent of votes in a state during a presidential election or securing at least one elective seat at the national, state or local government level.

ADC won't be on the ballot in 2027

mrvitalis:
How about LP
How about PDP
How about NNPP
How about PRP
How about NDC

Suddenly all opposition parties brought legal case to themselves

Let's see if supreme Court would make Nigeria peaceful today or set us on the part of revolution

Which NDC you dey talk abeg?

Hold the revolution in your state of Origin

Scentgood:
Dangote will definitely want to have 100% access to who will be the next governor of ogun state. Currently there are multibillion industries and factories been build in ogun state and the next 5 to 10yrs, ogun state will be a strategic and high industrial hub.
Unicane Ethanol industries is currently building a new plant in ogun state worth several millions of dollar.
So dangote is already positioning.

You Sabi the game

Ipisi:
Dangote should be very careful playing partisan politics ooooooo

APC will not be in power forever ooo

I dont want him to start crying in the future when tables turn. . .


OK (Obi/Kwankwaso) for Presidency 2027

He's being strategic

He's planing to build a port in Ogun state. He's going to need the support of the State and Federal Government in achieving his goal

press9jatv:
Na final judgment be this

The Supreme Court will tell Mark to go and defend himself at the FHC

Obidients go still Wail

Macphenson:
Nwosu did not resign as Gombe also did not resign

When did Nwosu say that?

Abeg share your source with me

DomPerignon:
AMINDA, I told you that your principal, Messer Atiku will be picking Amaechi as his running mate if he wins the ticket despite Amaechi running for same ticket.

This is because unlike one selfish stingy lazy politician, Amaechi will bankroll the joint ticket and same Amaechi has wide support among Muslim north unlike same stingy lying fraudulent messiah of Congo Judea.

I wander if Asgard Aminda go take this well because he has being campaigning for the Atiku/Obi joint ticket

E get sense pass the politicians going to the ADC

fergie001:
Mark-led.

Mark lead ADC is illegal and have no power in the ADC

Macphenson:
Oga Nwosu did not write to INEC. Somebody forged the signature of Nwosu and Gombe period.

When did Nwosu claim his signature was forge?

Macphenson:
That's means Gombes tenure is expired too.

Yes, but they didn't hand over power.

After Nwosu resigned, the next in line in the ADC is Gombe.

Mitsurugi:
How? Onward to NDC. Na Obi e favour pass

So una don dey give up on the ADC?

Newbie2024:
What kind of Election Selection are we practising?

Why are you Wailing over APC in Lagos state internal affairs?

Congratulation to Hamzat

Macphenson:
From this ruling, Ralph Nwosu still remains the chairman of ADC. I guess Ralph Nwosu should come and conduct the primaries for David Mark led ADC.

His tenure has expire

fergie001:
Abdulmalik is kidding 😂

The present State Executive Committee will have their tenures expire on May 12. The National now appoint a Committee to oversee election for their replacement. The election held and the elected individuals were told they will not take over until May 13.

Hahahahahahaha.... 😂

Which National appoint a committee abeg?

oneMalik:
whatever you call it or think about , its strictly your opinion !

If you are lucky to be picked like that to succeed someone , you will never be here analyzing nonsense .

Good or bad , someone has to replace someone as the seat must never be vacant .

pray for your time and maybe it shall come .

Gan

Endorsing a certain candidate still don't stop other politicians from contesting though they will lose against the consensus candidate

tnerro1:
But i tot the law states that anyone conceding or stepping down has to put it in writing to the party?

They are not forcing anybody to step down for anybody, I don't know why you guys are complaining.

DeLaRue:
If he was seated in the 3rd row, that's humiliation and disrespect of the highest order. That's terrible.

At times,you do see the point of those from the East who complain about how they and their leaders are treated in Nigeria.

I do not believe he was seated in the 3rd row. He's a former Governor, he won't be treated like that.

He has made the right choice.

Atiku won't have a political party to contest in unless he makes this kind of move

givedemwotowoto:
Tinubu is playing a dangerous game.
He and his followers pushing him must understand that people especially in the North will die for what they believe in.
Don't play with democracy, some people will die to protect it. They die for less important causes.

You can't win this fight, you're not fighting a just cause. You're fighting with your money while people are fighting with their hearts and souls for what they believe in and think is right.

If the people don't want you, leave power and give it a rest.

The South doesn't support you, and you have lost the partnership you had with the North.

Let it rest. Think about the ones coming after you that will be victims of your reckless selfish decisions.

If trouble starts you can't just say "ok let's go back to where things were", you don't get to decide when it ends.

Think about foreign countries and actors who take advantage of conflicts as contractors and mercenaries.

A word is enough for the wise.

Okoro, if your preek no erect to knack Chinenye, you go blame Tulumbu

It's better you don't waste your money by buying the APC governorship form in Lagos.

Hamzat will win with a wide margin

SouthernPlateau:
We weren't as hungry as under your oga current regime.

It's there a time in the history of Nigeria we don't have people complaining of hunger?

Cmanforall:
Not that… but the fact he had his hands earlier behind, it counted against him

His hand should have stayed behind

Lithiumite:
Let's see the dollar value,I think that would be a better yard stick.

But if nah loan wey Asiwaju Government don borrow, Obidients will prefer the naira value

Even if you convert it in dollars, the stock exchange under Asiwaju is still miles ahead of the rest

helinues:
His hand wasn't longer in natural position after the ball was kicked. Pure penalty

💯

GanagiBitrus:
Yes, but it got deflected off his body.

If his hand was behind his back, the penalty won't have been given
