Sowore made his position known on Friday in a statement reacting to the reported deregistration of the political party by court order.

Human rights activist and presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has condemned the court-ordered deregistration of the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) party, describing the development as a coordinated assault on democracy and Nigerians' constitutional right to political participation.

Sowore made his position known on Friday in a statement reacting to the reported deregistration of the political party by court order.

The presidential candidate accused the administration of President Bola Tinubu of intensifying a pattern of political repression aimed at shrinking the democratic space and weakening opposition voices.

"The coordinated assault on Nigerians' right to political participation under Tinubu's era of morontocracy is now complete with the court-ordered deregistration of the NDC," Sowore said.
