The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Seriake Dickson, has described as frivolous and embarrassing every action behind the party’s deregistration ruling.

 

Dickson made this remark during an interview on ‘Sunday Politics’, a programme on Channels Television.

 

He was speaking on the judgment of the Federal High Court in Lokoja which set aside its earlier ruling directing the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to register the NDC as a political party.

 

He said that the NDC remains a registered political party, noting that the ruling did not contain any mandatory order directing INEC to deregister the party

 

“Every action behind the deregistration ruling is frivolous and embarrassing. Right now, the NDC remains a registered political party.

 

“What people are trying to do is to look for flimsy excuses to truncate the political opposition, destabilise, weaken and scatter the political opposition,” he said.
