Obi, Kwankwaso Camps Convene Joint Emergency Press Conference Following NDC Deregistration

Supporters of Peter Obi and Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso have convened an emergency world press conference in Abuja following the court-ordered deregistration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress.

The development was announced by Tanko Yunusa, the Coordinator of the Obidient Movement.

The group is the umbrella body for Obi’s supporters.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the emergency briefing is a joint initiative with the Kwankwasiyya Movement, which is similarly the supporter group of Kwankwaso.

Under the banner “Save Our Democracy,” the allied groups invited members of the press and the general public to gather at the Obidient Movement Headquarters in Life Camp, Abuja, at 12:00 noon on Monday, June 29, 2026 (today).

The gathering just days following the judgement by the Federal High Court in Lokoja deregistering the NDC. On Friday, Hon. Justice Isa H. Dashen of the Lokoja Judicial Division set aside a December 10, 2025 judgment that had previously compelled the Independent National Electoral Commission to register the NDC.

According to the court’s latest ruling, the original registration order had to be nullified because it directly infringed upon the legal rights of the Peace Movement Party. That party had stepped forward to claim exclusive ownership of the logo used by the NDC, arguing that it was unlawfully omitted as a party to the original lawsuit.

Recall that Obi and Kwankwaso were only recently ratified as the NDC’s presidential and vice-presidential candidates for the upcoming 2027 general elections.

They should depends on social media na 🤣

Lmao. They should have done their due diligence.

Emergency press briefing to abuse and insult the president wont achieve anything. Go and get a stay of execution or get the appeal court to overturn the judgement.

Do you believe or deny the merits of the case?

The supporters of the president think the fate of Nigeria in their hands. Soon they will know we all own the country.

Dont, worry by the time Nigeria is fixed by the hand of the Almighty God, like the case of Elisha and the lepers, I decree you will not partake in the blessing of a new Nigeria.

Psychosis often requires treatment.

In some cases, the patients are incurable.

They're jointly going down. They'll surely gather but scatter. People wey no dey see far. We don't want people that can't see to lead us.

If you watch this video and still blame this calamity that has befallen NDC on the govt and you still cannot reason with this simple point, then may God completely take away the little that is left of what you call a brain.

Because this video clearly shows that this is nothing… pic.twitter.com/V7sbXPppFy
