The Court of Appeal in Abuja made a split decision to reverse the deregistration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) political party. The decision was 2-to-1, with Justice Mohammed Danjuma and M. L. Hassan delivering the majority judgment, and Justice Okon Abang providing the dissenting opinion. The majority held that the Peace Movement Party (PMP) was not a registered political party and therefore could not have been a necessary party in the case brought by the NDC against Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The appeal was dismissed for being incompetent, and the Court of Appeal upheld the NDC's constitutional right to participate in Nigeria's democratic process.
