The Supreme Court on Friday reaffirmed a ruling by the Court of Appeal in support of deregistration of National Unity Party (NUP) and 73 others.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in 2020 deregistered the political parties over their inability to win any election during the 2019 general elections.

In the judgment delivered by Justice Chima Centus Nweze, the Supreme Court, on Friday, said deregistration of NUP, one of the 74 parties, was in line with the laws and compliance with the extant provisions of the Constitution and Electoral Act.

Supreme court firing back to back

AD is now dead

- "..If you are a Yoruba, Edo , Igbo, Tiv, , Efik, Ijaw, etc; and after reading this article with all these open facts you are still shouting One Nigeria or still screaming APC or PDP under the present 1999 Military Decree then you need to be shot at sight because you are a danger to humanity and your race."

Good! They are all useless mushroom political parties that are fouling the political space by being ready made surrogates for the gladiator parties.

Ndigbo needs to form a Pro-Biafran party that is capable of winning all the Governorship, National Assembly and State House Assembly seats in the entire Igbo land.

This way we can Legally demand for a separate country at the Legislative floor.
Nigeria is a sovereign Nation and as such US, UK UN and the likes cannot enforce referendum on it's territory.

Whether or not sessession clause is in the Nigerian constitution, once we come out in one voice and in once spirit and demand for Bifara it will be granted with immediate alacrity.

He be like

As long as the party that gave us this president is still existing then it's a useless decision and a complete charade.

More should be removed biko

After all that initial GRA GRA

Are we still on dis?? Infact let dem make d terms and conditions of opening any new party stringent so dat these yeye ppl won't jus continue to open new parties upandan

Most of these parties are just time wasters

Too much political parties is a disease, we only need two strong party in Nigeria.

I think they should make the policies very clear and public such that anyone aiming at creating a political party would know from day one what is expected. This idea of allowing registration and then deregistering afterwards might just give the wrong impression. I know there'll always be exceptions and laws can and will always be interpreted in many ways, but it doesn't help that Nigeria is still using a constitution with so many loopholes like ambiguous statements, open ended statements, lack of detailed provisions, etc.

Good morning/afternoon/evening, everyone! Happy Password Day. Please, stay secured!

3 political parties are okay for Nigeria

Okay

God will save His people in this country nigeria

Noted

That's a welcome development. People can't just sit in their toilet and begin to form political party because constitution allows that. These parties constitute nothing but nuisance to our electoral processes. We can just wake up one day and INEC would tell us having 200 political parties simply because the constitution allows that. Our ballots paper would now be as long as MTN Mass making difficult for the illiterates to cast their vote.

My suggestion:

Any newly registered party should be qualified to contest ONLY legislative elections at federal and state levels.

Only parties whose candidate(s) won seats in the State Assembly should be eligible to contest for governorship election and only parties whose candidate(s) won seats in the National Assembly should be eligible to contest for presidential election.

In this way,
- parties will be encouraged to work hard to build from grassroots and grow
- parties will make effort to discourage defections by not selling its nomination forms to highest bidding 'internally displaced politicians' who are looking for platforms to run for elections.
- Above all, it will reduce the number of parties on the presidential and governorship ballot paper.

APGA should be scrapped too because it's an IPOB party.

All Blending party

Na God save person o. Go party meeting make Police pick you up for cultism

We know these parties don't exist in real life na

Nice one makes sense
