NDC Appeals Deregistration Ruling, Senior Lawyers Raise Jurisdiction Questions

The National Democratic Coalition (NDC) is challenging a court ruling that supposedly deregistered it, claiming no official order was issued to remove them from the INEC register. They're vowing to continue their political activities and support their candidates, including Peter Obi, in the upcoming 2027 elections. Senior lawyers have questioned the court's jurisdiction over the matter, suggesting this could undermine the legal process. This situation is significant as it raises questions about the integrity and impartiality of electoral bodies and the potential for political maneuvering to limit democratic participation.
