The Judiciary's Surrender: Obidient Movement Sounds the Alarm as Nigeria's Democracy Slides Toward Judicial Tyranny and Anarchy By Victor Monday Olajide  June 29, 2026 The Judiciary's Reckless Capitulation: Obidient Movement Exposes Grave Threat to Nigeria’s Fragile Democracy In a bold and unyielding stand against the creeping subversion of Nigeria’s democratic foundations, the Obidient Movement has issued a thunderous clarion call, condemning what it rightly describes as a series of dangerous, politically orchestrated judicial pronouncements that strike at the very heart of justice, fairness, and constitutional order. At a high-stakes press conference held today in the nation’s capital, the movement — a formidable force representing millions of awakened, resolute Nigerians at home and in the diaspora — confronted the media, diplomatic corps, civil society, and patriotic citizens with unflinching truth. Under the searing banner “The Road to Anarchy: ...

A Judicial Coup Against Democracy: The Shameful Lokoja Ruling Must Be Condemned in the Strongest Terms

Image
By Victor Monday Olajide  26/6/26 The Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja, under Justice Isah Dashen, has today delivered a brazen assault on Nigeria’s democratic foundations. In a ruling dripping with procedural sophistry and political undertones, the court has effectively attempted to strangulate a vibrant new voice in our multi-party system—the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC)—by setting aside its own earlier judgment that compelled INEC to register the party. This is not justice; it is judicial overreach, a dangerous subversion of constitutional rights, and a calculated move to shrink the democratic space at the behest of shadowy interests. Let us call this what it is: an outrageous abuse of court process. After the NDC, invoking the sacred constitutional guarantee of freedom of association, successfully fought INEC’s arbitrary refusal and secured registration in December 2025, the party hit the ground running. It mobilized members, conducted congresses from ward ...

A Fortress for Justice: The Dawn of a New Era in Katampe By Comrade Amb Victor Monday Olajide  Abuja, 17th June, 2026 In the golden haze of a mid-June Abuja afternoon, the newly minted Judges’ Quarters in Katampe District stood gleaming under the Nigerian sun — a bold declaration carved in brick, mortar, and unyielding vision. On this day, the Federal Government, through the hands of Vice President Kashim Shettima and Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), officially commissioned what many are already calling a transformative milestone in the nation’s pursuit of judicial excellence. Forty majestic 5-bedroom duplexes, each paired with detached boys’ quarters, rose proudly across the pristine landscape. Fully furnished with the kind of quiet luxury that befits the solemn weight of justice, these homes are more than shelter. They are sanctuaries. Ten units have been allocated to justices of the Court of Appeal, ten to the Fed...

Defection-Proof Democracy: NDC Strikes Bold Blow Against Political Treachery, Reclaiming Mandates for the People

Image
By Victor Monday Olajide, ABUJA  16th June, 2026 In a decisive and long-overdue assertion of institutional sovereignty, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has unleashed a powerful weapon in the war against the cancer of political defections that has long ravaged Nigeria’s democratic foundations. By compelling its governorship and National Assembly candidates to sign binding indemnity forms—committing them to vacate their seats should they abandon the party after victory—the NDC is not merely enforcing discipline; it is declaring war on the culture of betrayal, opportunism, and personal aggrandizement that has turned elected offices into private fiefdoms. Unveiled by the party’s National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, at a high-stakes signing ceremony at the NDC National Secretariat, this bold policy represents a revolutionary stand for party supremacy, internal cohesion, and the sanctity of the electoral mandate. In an era where politicians treat parties as disposa...
