NDC Halts Recognition of Diaspora Chapters Following Court Ruling
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) announced on Sunday that it will withhold recognition of its foreign chapters in the diaspora due to a court judgment that prohibits Nigerian political parties from establishing or supervising chapters outside the country. Osa Director, the National Publicity Secretary of the NDC, stated that this decision follows the ruling in the case of Prof. Ali Alao v.
All Progressives Congress (APC) & Anor, Suit No: CV/187/2025, delivered by Justice Peter Kekemeke at the FCT High Court in Maitama. The court ruled that diaspora chapters of Nigerian political parties are illegal and unconstitutional.
Consequently, the NDC has withdrawn all previous recognitions of such chapters and is initiating a harmonization process for existing groups. The party expressed gratitude for the support from its diaspora members and encouraged them to continue engaging through legal channels while it studies the judgment further.
