Peter Obi's camp says NDC deregistration is just a temporary setback and they will appeal

So Peter Obi's media office has finally spoken on that Lokoja High Court judgment that deregistered the NDC. Their spokesperson Idris Zekeri Jnr released a statement yesterday calling the ruling bizarre and saying it is just a temporary setback. They are already reviewing the judgment and preparing to file an appeal.

The Peter Obi Media Reach said they have been flooded with calls from journalists and concerned Nigerians since the news broke. They are asking supporters to stay calm while the legal team finishes its work. The statement made it clear they expected this kind of systemic hurdle when challenging the political establishment.

This is the second time Obi's political vehicle is facing this kind of legal trouble. First the Labour Party crisis now this. The question is how many more court battles can one man fight before the 2027 election even starts. At what point does a setback stop being temporary and start becoming a pattern?
