Appeal Court Suspends Lifu’s Order to Deregister Parties

An appeal court has halted a controversial order by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister political parties, criticizing the trial judge for undermining the court's authority. This move has sparked outrage among opposition leaders, including Atiku Abubakar, who declared that democracy is under threat. Adebayo, another prominent figure, voiced support for the legal challenge against INEC's decision, emphasizing the need for the National Judicial Council to investigate. This development underscores ongoing tensions within Nigeria's political landscape and the judiciary's role in safeguarding democratic processes.
