That many key Obidients are not happy with Obi's latest defection is an understatement. As the rallying point for he movement, it is high time POcall a meeting of the movement and explain his latest move. Also, there is the need to reach out individually to all key obidtgat are somehow mistaken about the latest move.

With over 10 million registered members, NDC with 24hrs, NDC is set to beat the Guinness book record as the fastest growing party in the world. By May 9, the NDC should be hitting 15millions registered members.

Those criticizing Obi-Kwankwaso move are only pained. I won't be surprised that Bolaji Abdullahi and Datti are scheming to join NDC, especially the Bala Gombe case is still with the courts.

yarimo:
ATIKU please hurry up hurry up and decamp to NDC e get why. Somebody must participate in primary election

Mortal fear of a Tinubu supporter. Peter Obi will defeat Tinubu in Lagos, Osun and Ondo.
Tinubu has no pathway to be reelected, hence he is out to cause confusion in the opposition. Unfortunately, he has been outplayed by PO.

Someone should tell Bolaji that ADC will be handed over to Nafiu Bala Gombe. If that happens, ADC as we know it now will be nothing but another Wike-like PDP.
Why was ADC reluctant to zone the presidency, if was not predetermined for Atiku? Even when Obi accepted to form Obi-Kwankwaso alliance ADC did not come clean, instead, they went to Ibadan to support Atiku-Makinde ticket. We're you expecting Obi to sit and watch you scheme him out and also curry his 7m+ votes?

HacheNoire:
Way to go!

The party formation is unconstitutional and should be nullified.

This is a big test for the Judiciary to uphold the law and deliver judgement that prohibits the party’s activities.

We need to keep them busy 🤣😂🤣😂

Go to court and be fined N25 millions for frivolities.

APC database masquerading as Obidients, una Dooooh!

Ewure trip into political analy. APC has developed High Fever

They are opening threads after threads on NDC, so they will not respond.

aswani:
You too, tell Peter Obi to either quit politics or stop talking cho cho cho about stuff publicly.
He wants to be my President, jumping from party to party like a frog, and I shouldn't talk about him, you go wait tìre.
Just to make it (exceedingly) clear, I shall continue to exercise my inalienable right to have an opinion on him and his activities.
Who nor like am, make dem bend!

NDC has no court cases, what INEC referred to was a case that preceded 2025. INEC is not foolish while referencing Court case because NDC sued INEC and won.

When NDC has shaken him and his supporters, what do you expect?

Image123:
You're building on problem foundation already. We can see so many holes already. What kind of team does this man have? Are they 6 year olds?
Letter issued and received on 5th December 2025 but bearing NBA seal issued to expire in March 2027.
He stated below
As a lawyer and member of NBA, NBA seal are issued yearly to expire the following year. The NBA seal issued to expire in March 2027 can only be produced and issued in January 2026 and could not have been attached to a letter dated December 2025.
This raises a serious issue of forgery and backdated letter. It can equally put the concerned lawyer in a serious professional misconduct trouble before the Legal Practitioners’ Disciplinary Committee.
You enter party that has national chairman, national secretary, national treasurer, legal rep all under court order. You've made yourself a sitting duck already.

Go to court and stop whining online. Are you APM or are you INEC, or the court that gave the order?

The ADC will soon empty into NDC. This week woukd be full of activities.

Atiku is welcome to NDC as an Elder Statesman. Him, OBJ and GEJ are wholeheartedly welcome.

TruthsFM:
Obidients, please see clearly NDC’s leadership as uploaded on INEC’s portal with COURT ORDER attached. Don’t blame APC and President Tinubu tomorrow when your turmoil begins.

Oga rest NDC as an association applied for registration as a party in 2017. INEC refused to register them after satisfying all required conditions. Mahmoud led INEC said NDC "V" logo looked like APC broom. NDC went to court and the court overrode INEC's objections, hence INEC registered NDC based on court order.
Importantly my dear friend, INEC has lost the rights to appeal the judgement as the time has lapsed.
Take heart, Tinubu is a goner.

By the way, why are you expecting turmoil, is it because Gbaja will be shopping for someone to "SCATTER THEM"? Too late bro, the ship has sailed.

Tinubu will be in sefia pain now. To scatter NDC, they will have to make Dickson VP or offer him $2.5b. Ijaw man will use the money to finish them.
GEJ hand is in this project, this I am aware of.

zoedew:
Political drifters. Kalokalo politicians! Political gamblers. As for Kwaks he gets demystified with every new suitor he embraces in the political brothel that is his habitation.

We share in you pains and fear. However, Nigeria is better for it.

SadiqBabaSani:
No noise in this class, INEC's time to appeal is almost lapsed

The time has lapsed already. NDC was the game plan all along, howbeit the fall back position. They used PRP as a red herring for both INEC abd APC.

INEC Registration: Umar Ardo lied – NDC
April 7, 2026

The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) has put a lie to the claim by Dr. Umar Ardo of ADA that the NDC's registration by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, did not follow due process.

The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) has put a lie to the claim by Dr. Umar Ardo of ADA that the NDC's registration by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, did not follow due process.

The party, in a statement signed by its National Secretary, Barr. Ikenna Morgan Enekweizu, said such a claim is not only mischievous and misleading, but a wicked lie from the pit of hell.

“This is not the first time Dr. Ardo would be peddling this same falsehood. We recall that barely 48 hours after INEC announced the registration of both NDC and DLA, Ardo was on an ARISE NEWS programme dishing out the same falsehood about NDC and making insinuations on why it was registered.

“Rather than concern himself with his ADA which failed to scale the INEC hurdle, Ardo had spent a large chunk of his allotted airtime attacking NDC, saying he did not comprehend how the party came to be registered.

Curiously, more than a month after that ARISE NEWS interview, Ardo has still not made good his promise to approach the Lokoja court that gave the ruling, on the strength of which the NDC was registered by INEC. Rather, he has gone again on Trust TV to repeat the same lies”.

‘Our position’ the NDC statement said, “is that Dr. Ardo knows the truth but has chosen to follow the ignoble path of shunning the truth for some selfish or sinister reasons.”

That truth, according to the NDC National Secretary, is that “the processes for the registration of the NDC predates the 2025 date Ardo is bandying about”.

“NDC first applied for registration as far back as 2017. And was among the initial 171 associations that sought registration.

“It only approached the court when it felt dissatisfied with the reasons INEC, under Prof. Yakubu, advanced for dropping the party from the process and almost aborting its registration.

“NDC went to court when it was not allowed to proceed to the next stage Dr. Ardo is talking about, be it be last 14 or last 8.

“ We went to court because INEC said the NDC Victory-sign logo of two upward-pointed fingers was similar to the APC Broom logo.

NDC disagreed with that submission and approached the Federal High Court to challenge that position, insisting it is an abuse of discretion.

INEC legal team was served and it appeared at the Court to defend the commission’s position. Before the court, the INEC team affirmed that all the requirements for registration had been made by the NDC, except for the position the commission took on the logo.

“The judge, after listening to all arguments, over ruled INEC, saying that the logos were not only clearly different, but that INEC’S position of knocking out NDC on that basis interfered with our fundamental freedom of association, and thereafter ordered INEC to register NDC. The court thus enforced NDC’s right to association and gave an express order for its registration to INEC, an order which INEC complied with and did not appeal.

“It is also instructive to note that the window of time allowed for such an appeal has since elapsed.

“This parly explains the reason why until recently, INEC had yet to reflect the NDC logo or upload it on the INEC website. In the stead of the NDC logo, the electoral commission simply put ‘COURT ORDER’ ”, the NDC statement pointed out.

The truth, the NDC scribe said, is that the party had met every requirement for registration long before the Umar Ardo’s ADA did so ( if it did so), and only went to court when it was excluded from the shortlist of 14 political associations being considered for registration, on the strength of the questionable rejection of the NDC logo – a logo which INEC said bore a close semblance of the APC logo. NDC disagreed with that position, and the court concurred.

“INEC soon announced NDC as a political party, based on that court order, and proceeded to issue NDC a certificate of registration as a political party.

“The NDC has since started its activities as a political party. And only two weeks ago, it held its first NEC meeting, after serving INEC the mandatory 21 days notice, and INEC attended event and fully monitored the processes

The party has also given INEC the mandatory notices for its congresses and convention scheduled to hold soon”.

pointed out that since its registration and public presentation, NDC's officers and leaders have been working round the clock to introduce the party to Nigerians in all states of the Federation and Abuja. They have also been aggressively promoting the party.

“We thank Nigerians both within and in the Diaspora for the huge outpouring of love and enthusiasm in the way they have accepted the party and are massively registering as members of the NDC”

According to him, “this is largely due to the person of the party’s National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson whom millions of Nigerians have come to accept as authentic and a politician of conviction, not convenience”

“They have come to accept our party as a credible alternative to the decadence foited on the country by the incumbent APC government. They have come to believe in us as the key bastion against the impending descent into a one-party state, which the APC is pursuing, against our avowed preference for a multi-party democracy.”

“Of course, we in the NDC are not so naiveas not to know that the forces of darkness are uneasy with the light and breath of fresh that the NDC has come to represent, especially with widespread defections into the new party from both the ruling APC and other political parties from across the country. So we cannot say we were not expecting the shenanigans of Dr. Ardo and his ilk.

“We know those who have been funding Dr. Ardo to demarket NDC. We know Dr. Ardo to be an agent of the APC, working to destabilise and demarket the opposition and help push the one-party state agenda of the APC. Many of the Umar Ardo campaign are APC governors and chieftains who are well known to us, and who have suddenly become very jittery with the rising profile of the NDC, a party which they had initially given no chance.

Rather than make demarketing NDC his project, Umar Ardo would do well to tell Nigerians the truth as to what happened to his ADA.

“We have it on good authority that ADA was denied registration for no other reason than Umar Ardo’s treachery and selfishness.

“ADA which was the initial preferred platform of the opposition coalition failed to be registered when Umar Ardo went behind the leaders of the coalition to substitute the names of protem officers nominated by coalition leaders like Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi and others with his own name as Secretary and Uche Secondus as Chairman”.

The NDC scribe revealed that Umar Ardo who is close to the National Leader of the NDC had initially sought the advice of Dickson on how to proceed, when it was becoming clear that ADA registration might hit a brickwall. According to him, Dickson had advised ADA to do the same thing NDC was doing by taking INEC to court, explaining that INEC has no powers not to register the party if it meets the minimal requirements demanded by the commission.

“Unfortunately for ADA, Umar Ardo was seeking to sideline the leaders if the opposition, and register the party for himself. So, when he filed his suit on behalf of the ADA, other coalition elements were taken aback, when the reality of what Umar Ardo filled became public. Other leaders of the coalition promptly filed a counter suit challenging Ardo.

“That disagreement within the ADA, more than anything else, is responsible for why INEC refused to register ADA, But instead of telling the public this truth, Ardo is busy doing his paymasters’ bidding of trying to rubbish NDC”.

Curiously, Ardo has remained ominously silent on the NDP, another association which equally toed the path of NDC, by going to court, and which also won in court and has now been registered by INEC as a political party. That registration came after NDC’s. But Umar Ardo won’t say anything about the NDP because he feels the NDP might not yet possess the strength and wide acceptance that NDC has garnered in less than one month of receiving its certificate of registration.

“We would ordinarily have accepted to have Umar Ardo join us in the NDC to build the kind of credible opposition we envisage, that can challenge and defeat APC at the polls, but his track record of betrayal, selfishness and total lack loyalty and integrity have knocked him out of reckoning, as the NDC has no place for such characters as Umar Ardo, who is clearly working for the APC while pretending to hobnob with the coalition of opposition parties.

“Having destroyed the League of Northern Democrats (LND) of which he is the Convener, and also compromised the registration of ADA, Umar Ardo is now seeking to pull down the NDC. He is clearly on a mission, a mission to help APC destroy every possible opposition ahead of the 2027 general elections, and impose a one-party state against the wishes of Nigerians and all true democrats”

Go to court ... if you are not OK
Sue INEC for their errors

This one is scared of losing his job on less than a year. Ambassador designate is like getting employment letter without resumption date.

APC media team, presidential aides, online lapdogs, etc are working overtime over Peter Obi's decision to leave ADC. Question is "Why are APC apologists "gulping panadol" over Peter Ob? The answer is simple:

1. Tinubu and APC thought to kill Obi's ambition by making him partyless in 2027. That has always been Tinubu's Lagos template.

2. ADC will be clipped by the High Court judgement, thereby rendering Tinubu the sole candidate for 2027.

3. Justice Joice Abdumalik already rendered David Mark led convention null and void. Next is to hand ADC to Nafui Bala

4. The plan of APC and Tinubu was to frustrate Obi, Atiku, Kwankwaso by desregisering ADC, courtesy of suit filed by the AGF.

5. The combo of Obi-Kwankwaso is a killer squard to APC. With that arrangement, Tinubu would have lost SE, SS, NW ( KKK states).

6. Even the only elected representative in ADC, Abejide, who was urged to scatter ADC has jumped ship to APC, having seen the plan through.

Anyone thinking Obi left because of Atiku is only telling themselves "halftruth". The NDC with Obi, Kwankwaso, and others soon to join from ADC, PDP and displaced APC politicians will defeat Tinubu.

Going by the foregoing, I have resigned from ADC and will be registering with NDC on Tuedsday.
"Thank you for your attention to this matter"

If Nigeria allows Indepent candidate, Obi woukd have chosen that part. The END justified the mean.

Curious345:
I support ajose . He is a man of integrity

The man of the people, if they rig him out, he can approach the courts.

Op what are you crying over Obi. We want Peter Obi on the ballot in 2027, WE WANT TO CHECK SOMETHING. You all said he rode on the back of religion, now let's see how Tinubu will measure up.
NW is gone with Kwankwaso
SE is gone with Obi
SS is gone with Obi and Dickson
NW is in disarray, open for grab
NE is Atiku's turf.
I hope Fagbemi will not faint with this news, as NDC is not in trouble.

givedemwotowoto:
What you told us was that PO had agreed to become Atiku’s VP

Do not mind the cornfused aide. They are now jittery as they never wanted Obi on the ballot. As it stands now SE, SS and NW are no go areas for APC. If Atiku holds NE, Tinubu can only win in the 5 SW states. Even Oyo is not guaranteed.

SadiqBabaSani:
Nice one, I hope this is not for election alone

What did you understand that you are shouting "Niice one"? Point out what you noted on this write up.

ANYTHING to send Tinubu back to Babylon Bourdillon

SadiqBabaSani:
Isokay, APC will go and shop for how to scatter NDC.
APC weaponising the courts like a ballistic missile very dangerous for the fragile democracy we have

It would be too late for APC as the NDC has no factional team. Unfortunately, Nafiu will be unemployed for 4 years, just like Abure and Apapa.
If Atiku remains in ADC, he will not be in 2027 ballot. That woukd mean a BIG win for the opposition NDC.

SadiqBabaSani:
Stop deflection, focus on the topic. Atiku must respect Southern rule for next 4yrs either Obi, Amaechi or let Tinubu continue. We can't have Northern President when Power left North just 4yrs ago, Nooo, Never !!!

Oga, there is no country called Southern Nigeria. When Tinubu shouted Emilokan, did he respect Southern turn? When Tinubu and co-travelers ganged up against Jonathan did you remember Southern turn?

SadiqBabaSani:
Atiku and his supporters have no regard for Southern Nigeria to lead this country.
Atiku has contested against all southern candidates in past elections, what a man.
Obi or nothing,
Obi or let Tinubu continue.
When it is 2031 it is Northern Nigeria's turn to lead and no reasonable Southerner will support another Southern candidate

How many regions are in the South sir?
How many has South Western have ruled?
Can the same be said of South East?

franchasng:
You are wrong brother. Calm down and read the Supreme Court judgment, it's a complete set up of ADC.
Supreme Court smartly buried ADC today.
ADC cannot field candidate for 2027 Presidential election due to INEC timeline and time constraint.
Supreme Court referred the case back to Federal High Court.
Now FHC will need to fix a date for the hearing, and the possible outcome is nullification of David Mark led NWC.
Meanwhile with today's Supreme Court ruling, FHC ruling of yesterday asking INEC to stop recognizing David Mark led NWC of the ADC will take effect even as the same FHC nullified the David Mark led MWC convention, so can't you see the set up here?
ADC is gone bro

Stop wailing, ADC was a SPV, the opposition are in talks with PRP, NDC, PDP and others.
Tinubu MUST be sent to Bourdillon.

As it stands now, PDP may become the new bride

Tinubu has NO PATHWAY to be reelected in 2027. He made Ambode OTG, God will make him OTP.
Karma is a BEA
