Tinubu opposition claims have resurfaced after the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) accused President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to weaken opposition parties before the 2027 general election.
According to Daily Post, the allegation followed a Federal High Court ruling that affected the legal status of the NDC. However, the party insisted it remains legally recognised. It also said it has already challenged the judgment through the courts.
Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe, the party’s National Chairman, said the NDC had not been deregistered. He explained that the party filed a notice of appeal shortly after the ruling. It also asked the court to grant a stay of execution while the appeal is pending.
National Secretary Habibu Zuwoghe described the judgment as part of a broader effort to cripple opposition parties before the 2027 election. He claimed the move was designed to reduce political competition and weaken alternative voices.
He urged party members and supporters to remain calm. He also expressed confidence that the appeal would overturn the judgment. According to him, the party will continue its activities while the legal process runs its course.
The Tinubu opposition claims have added to growing political debates ahead of the 2027 election. Meanwhile, the APC has not responded publicly to the allegations at the time of this report.
The case is now expected to move to the appellate court, where the NDC hopes to overturn the ruling and continue its political activities without interruption.
