Founder of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has said the party remains committed to its pursuit of multi-party democracy despite the recent Federal High Court ruling that set aside an earlier judgement directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the party.
Dickson made this known on Sunday after hosting the party’s vice-presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, at his residence.
In a statement posted on his Facebook page, the former Bayelsa State governor said the meeting focused on issues affecting the party and its future.
“I just received my brother and our Vice Presidential candidate, His Excellency Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and we discussed issues of mutual interest concerning our party,” Dickson said.
He disclosed that both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to the party’s ideals despite recent legal setbacks.
“We reaffirmed our resolve to stand together in the fight for multi-party democracy, and I briefed him on the measures the party is taking to correct and redress the distractions occasioned by the anomalous ruling of the Federal High Court. We are on course!” he added.
Dickson’s remarks come days after the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja, Kogi State, on Friday set aside its earlier judgement delivered in December 2025, which had directed INEC to register the NDC as a political party.
The court reversed its decision following an application filed by the Peace Movement Party (PMP), which argued that it was not joined as a party in the suit that led to the earlier judgement.
The ruling effectively nullified the previous order pending further legal proceedings.
