Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential media aide and African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, has stated that the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, should be worried about the party’s de-registration.
On Friday, the Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, reversed its previous decision directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the NDC as a political party.
The finding came after the Peace Movement Party (PMP) filed an attempt to have the December 2025 judgement overturned because it was not a party to the lawsuit.
In his judgment, Justice Isah Dashen declared that all relevant parties must be heard before any substantive decision can be made in the matter.

Reacting, Bashir, in a post on his official X handle, said Obi and Kwankwaso should be worried, stating that the two politicians currently have no legally recognised platform on which to contest the next election.
He wrote, “Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi have every reason to be worried.
“As things stand today, they have no legally recognised platform on which to pursue their political ambitions, as the NDC is not recognised by law.”
