Following the recent judgment nullifying the registration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress,NDC, as a political party, the Kwankwasiyya Movement, has said that no judicial setback, political intimidation, or administrative obstacle will diminish its commitment to its ideals or weaken its resolve to offer Nigerians a credible democratic alternative.
Speaking in a statement signed by its spokesman, Dr. Muhammad Sale Habibu, the movement said it received with concern the recent judgment setting aside the earlier decision directing the registration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
“We reaffirm the position consistently articulated by our leader and principal, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, that Nigeria deserves a government founded on justice, competence, equity, accountability, and the genuine welfare of its people.
“While we acknowledge and respect the constitutional role of the judiciary as the final arbiter of disputes, we cannot ignore the troubling questions that this judgment has raised regarding the integrity of our democratic process and the future of political pluralism in Nigeria.”
The statement explained that, at a time when millions of Nigerians are yearning for credible alternatives to the current administration, this development inevitably reinforces the growing public perception that powerful forces are determined to shrink the democratic space and ensure that only politically convenient parties are allowed to flourish ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The litigation has suddenly assumed renewed urgency precisely when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commenced activities under the timetable for the 2027 general elections, including processes leading to party nominations and candidate submissions.
