Southwest Labour Party Vice Chairman, Abayomi Arabambi
A chieftain of the Labour Party, Abayomi Arabambi, has warned that any court judgment ordering the deregistration of five political parties could plunge Nigeria into political instability and threaten the country’s democratic process.
Arabambi spoke on Saturday during a press briefing in Abuja ahead of the June 5 judgment scheduled by the Federal High Court in a suit seeking the deregistration of the African Democratic Congress, Action Alliance, Action Peoples Party, Accord Party and Zenith Labour Party.
The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2637/2025, was instituted by the Incorporated Trustees of the National Forum of Former Legislators against the Independent National Electoral Commission, the Attorney General of the Federation and the five political parties.
Justice Peter Odo Lifu of the Federal High Court, Abuja, had fixed June 5, 2026, for judgment after dismissing applications for stay of proceedings and joinder filed by interested parties, including Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke and Arabambi.
