DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE: Outrage Erupts as Lokoja Court Strips NDC of Political Party Status, Sparking Fierce Resistance from Serike Dickson and Peter Obi

DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE: Outrage Erupts as Lokoja Court Strips NDC of Political Party Status, Sparking Fierce Resistance from Serike Dickson and Peter Obi

A monumental judicial earthquake has struck Nigeria’s political landscape after the Federal High Court in Lokoja set aside its own judgment compelling the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as a political party. Delivering the controversial ruling in suit FHC/LKJ/CS/49/2025, Justice Isah Dashen declared the previous December 2025 judgment constitutionally defective. The decision has triggered immediate, explosive condemnation from NDC chieftain Serike Dickson, who slammed the order as an illegal, anti-democratic ambush by an unregistered association. Concurrently, presidential icon Peter Obi has raised a nationwide alarm, labeling the judgment an unnecessary and dangerous setback that actively weakens the independent foundations of Nigerian democracy.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial candidate, Barr. Nestor Ezeme, PhD, has cast his vote at his Umundu polling unit under an atmosphere of extreme institutional sabotage. Speaking immediately after his accreditation, Dr. Ezeme vehemently condemned a series of violent attacks and calculated logistical disruptions designed to suppress votes in his strongest strongholds. Ezeme exposed how armed hoodlums—desperate to rescue the unpopular ruling party machinery—hijacked and carted away election materials in Obollo Afor and Ogwu Obollo, while completely starving the largest polling centers of INEC officials and police personnel. Despite this heavy state-backed intimidation, the candidate declared that the masses are defiantly voting for him and that victory remains absolute.
