Dickson Builds Only on Rocks; NDC Registration Further Solidified By Appeal Court Rulings - TDM

Image
The National Coordinator of The Dickson Movement (TDM) and prominent member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Comrade Emmanuel Ogbidi, has described the recent Court of Appeal judgment upholding the registration of the NDC as a significant development for Nigeria’s multi-party democracy. TDM, in a statement made available to journalists in Benin City, Edo State, yesterday, said the judgment had further strengthened confidence in the legal foundation upon which the NDC was established. The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja had, in a 2–1 majority decision, set aside the Federal High Court judgment in Lokoja, Kogi State, which had reversed an earlier judgment directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the NDC as a political party.

Reacting to the development, TDM said the outcome demonstrated what he described as the sound leg...

DAN ORBIH GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Image
Tribute by : Michael Egbejule  The earthly journey of Dan Osi Orbih has reached its final chapter, yet his profound legacy remains indelibly etched in the collective consciousness.  A towering titan within the Nigerian political sphere, he commanded the room with an authoritative resonance and an unshakeable moral compass.  He fundamentally reshaped the regional landscape, forging the opposition in Edo State into a formidable engine of change. Through sheer intellect and relentless dedication, he elevated politics from a superficial pastime into a rigorous arena for visionaries and intellectuals. Subject to the frailties of mortality, he could not escape the final horizon; nevertheless, the abruptness of his departure leaves us grappling with a hollow, aching query: why?  In hours of such profound desolation, human logic falters, leaving us to humbly acknowledge that the ultimate mysteries rest solely with the Divine. Though his physical voice has been st...
