It was a split judgement of 2-1

2 Justices
Mohammed Danjuma (Presiding Justice) & Muslim Sule Hassan JJCA affirmed the registration

1 Justice (dissent)
Okon Abang JCA upheld NDC's deregistration

Fellow Party Members and Nigerians,

Today, the Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, has set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court, Lokoja, delivered by Justice Isah Dashen a few months ago, which purported to order the deregistration of our party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

In a judgment delivered by the presiding Justice, Justice Mohammed Danjuma and read by Justice Hassan, the Court ruled in favour of allowing our appeal, which challenged the faulty ruling of the Federal High Court, Lokoja, and accordingly, set aside Justice Dashen’s judgment.

We want to use this opportunity once again to commend the Nigerian judiciary, and in particular, Hon. Justice Danjuma and Hon. Justice Hassan, for upholding the integrity of the Nigerian judiciary and, by their decisions, expanding the sphere of multiparty democratic participation in Nigeria.

We have said repeatedly that the NDC was set up to expand the frontier of multiparty democracy in Nigeria. Justice Dashen’s judgment a few months ago was an unexpected assault on our constitutional right to participate and an attempt to narrow the democratic space.

Happily, today, by the decision of the Court of Appeal, the Nigerian democratic space has been protected, and the NDC’s right to participate in all political activities as a registered political party has been upheld.

I congratulate all members and candidates of our great party, the NDC, and thank Nigerians for their prayers and support.

When the unexpected judgment of the Lokoja Federal High Court was delivered, we were bombarded with several calls for sympathy, support and prayers. Today, our collective prayers have been answered.

The NDC continues to exist. Our registration remains valid and subsisting, and we and all our candidates will participate in all elections in 2027 and beyond, by the grace of God.

Everyone should now focus on the campaigns, prepare for the elections, and focus on the task ahead to face the APC and defeat them at the polls.

A resort to arm-twisting, inducing or intimidating the judiciary will not work. We remain confident in the strength of our message, the commitment of our members, the viability of our candidates, and the support of Nigerians. With this conviction, we look forward to the forthcoming elections and are confident that the NDC will emerge victorious at the polls, by the grace of God.

The fight for Nigeria's multiparty democracy continues and by the grace of God we will emerge victorious.

NDC ALL THE WAY✌️

Hehehe! The last straw that broke the camel's back have been served. I man sat down on the mount top watching them Babylon them burning red red hot.

This is good!

I welcome the Court of Appeal judgment and commend the Justices for protecting the right of a political party to participate in Nigeria’s democratic process.

But this episode should not simply be forgotten. The attempt to deregister a political party through a controversial judicial process raises serious questions about the state of our democracy and the environment in which opposition parties operate under the present political order.

The APC should understand that democracy is not strengthened by shrinking the political space or by allowing institutions to become instruments of political convenience. Parties should be defeated at the ballot box—not weakened through questionable institutional processes.

I also look forward to the Certified True Copy of the Court of Appeal judgment. Nigerians deserve to see the legal reasoning behind the decision and understand exactly why the Federal High Court judgment was set aside.

If the earlier proceedings involved any judicial or procedural misconduct, the appropriate authorities must investigate and, where wrongdoing is established, apply the necessary sanctions. Nobody should be above accountability.

The lesson from this episode should be clear: Nigeria belongs to Nigerians, not to any political party. Democracy means allowing political parties to compete freely and allowing citizens to decide their government at the polls.

The APC should prepare for political competition, not institutional shortcuts. Let the people decide.

Good!

You won't see anyone saying "Tinubu has bought the Judiciary "

I noticed anytime they win, they are mute BUT anytime they lose, THEN it's the judiciary being bought.

Yeye ppl dem!

I wan see how Tinubu carry enter university with primary and secondary schools.

That man called Okon Abang,i reserve my comment about him. Anyway, AA is still the code

Nigerian courts stick to a single interpretation of the same matter

It seems a pattern is building up were northern judges seems to be giving judgements that favours one side, and the southern judges give judgement that favors the other side. Do you know what I mean😁

Just remember to bookmark this page and return to comment on the aftermath of the 2027 presidential elections. A journey roughly halfway through Nigeria last night showed electricity supply was available EVERYWHERE along the road! Tinubu is now good to return!
