Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has criticised the Federal High Court ruling ordering the deregistration of some political parties, warning that any action perceived to undermine the independence of key national institutions could have far-reaching consequences for Nigeria’s democracy and economy.

Obi argued that strong nations are built on credible institutions that operate independently and enjoy public trust. He cautioned that weakening confidence in the judiciary could erode faith in the rule of law and discourage investment at a time when Nigeria needs economic growth and stability. Reflecting on past concerns over judicial independence, Obi stressed that investors can navigate security, policy and market risks, but are often deterred by uncertainty surrounding the rule of law and perceptions of political interference in the courts.
