NDC Halts Foreign Chapters Following Court Ruling

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially suspended recognition of all its foreign chapters in compliance with a High Court ruling. This decision was announced on Sunday in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director Esq.

The ruling, delivered by Justice Peter Kekemeke of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, declared that no political party registered in Nigeria has the legal authority to establish or supervise chapters outside the country, rendering diaspora branches illegal and unconstitutional. The NDC expressed gratitude to its international supporters and emphasized its commitment to accountability and transparency.

The party is initiating a harmonization process for competing factions abroad and is reviewing the court order through its legal department. Osa Director urged diaspora supporters to continue their interactions through appropriate channels while remaining focused on their goal to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
