The media office of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has described the Lokoja High Court judgment regarding the party’s registration status as a temporary setback, saying the decision will be challenged legally.
This is contained in a statement by the Peter Obi Media
Reach, POMR, signed by its spokesperson, Idris Zekeri Jnr, on Friday.
POMR noted that it has been flooded with inquiries from
journalists and concerned Nigerians following the decision.
The media office urged Obi’s followers, political partners,
and the general public to stay calm while the legal team finishes reviewing the
judgment and prepares to file an appeal.
It maintained that it fully expected to face systemic
hurdles in the ongoing bid to challenge the political establishment, viewing
the court’s decision as a brief obstacle rather than a permanent defeat for its
political objectives.
“We have received the news of today’s bizarre ruling from
the court in Lokoja regarding the legal status of the Nigeria Democratic
Congress, NDC.
“While our legal teams are thoroughly reviewing the judgment
to initiate immediate corrective and appellate measures, our Principal urges
all our supporters, coalition partners, and patriots nationwide to remain
absolutely calm and focused,” the statement said.
According to the group, the legal decision would not change
the ultimate goal of establishing an alternative political platform for
Nigerians.
