Former presidential media aide and a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bashir Ahmad, has said the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, should be worried about the move to de-register the party.
Recall that the Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, on
Friday set aside its earlier judgment directing the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the NDC as a political party.
The ruling followed an application by the Peace Movement
Party (PMP), which asked that the December 2025 judgment be set aside because
it was not joined in the suit.
In his judgment, Justice Isah Dashen declared that all
relevant parties must be heard before any substantive decision can be made in
the matter.
Reacting, Bashir, in a post on his official X handle, said
Obi and Kwankwaso should be worried, stating that the two politicians currently
have no legally recognised platform on which to contest the next election.
He wrote, “Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi have every
reason to be worried.
“As things stand today, they have no legally recognised
platform on which to pursue their political ambitions, as the NDC is not
recognised by law.”
