NDC still validly registered, we'll challenge court ruling — Dickson

Sen. Seriake Dickson, National leader of the NDC.

The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and Senator representing Bayelsa West, Seriake Dickson, has insisted that the party remains a legally recognised political platform despite a recent Federal High Court ruling in Lokoja, Kogi State.

Speaking on Sunday during an interview on Channels Television, Dickson said the party disagreed with the legal basis of the judgment and had commenced steps to challenge it at the appellate court.

According to him, the ruling was delivered by a court that lacked the authority to revisit its earlier decision.

“We disagree as a party with the legal basis and propriety of the ruling. The party is taking the appropriate legal steps to ensure that the right thing is done,” he said.
