Today is the International Day of the Girl Child.
Nigeria, what investments have been made for the girl child? What have we done, or are doing, to ensure her tomorrow is better than her yesterday and today?
Do those in leadership even care, beyond the usual exaggerated and insincere speeches that ooze out of political lips?
The girls in Nigeria deserve more not as a privilege but as a right. May we work today to ensure their better and brighter tomorrow.

STATEMENT BY THE VILLAGE BOYS MOVEMENT
Office of the National Town Crier (Spokesperson)
The Village Boys Movement rejects the Federal Government’s sudden 30-day petrol “discount” as a temporary political stunt designed to deceive Nigerians and create the illusion of relief after years of crushing economic hardship.
The government says this is “not a subsidy” but merely the sale of petrol at cost through NNPC stations. Nigerians are not interested in semantic gymnastics. Whether it is called a discount, price modulation, intervention, or cost-based selling, the real question is simple: Who will benefit, how much will they save, and what happens after 30 days?
After the removal of subsidy, the naira’s collapse, soaring transport fares, rising food prices, and widespread hardship, the Tinubu administration cannot expect Nigerians to celebrate a short-term arrangement announced amid growing public anger. A government that truly cares about the people would provide a transparent, sustainable, and nationwide solution—not an emergency relief package timed to manage political pressure.
The absence of clear details is deeply troubling. The government has not adequately explained the exact discount per litre, the funding mechanism, the stations covered, the quantity of petrol involved, or how public transporters will be selected. Without transparency, this programme risks becoming another avenue for patronage, diversion, and political propaganda.
The Village Boys Movement demands:
Full transparency: Publish the exact price reduction, beneficiaries, stations, funding arrangements, and implementation guidelines.
Nationwide accountability: Ensure that the benefit reaches ordinary commuters and does not stop with selected transport operators or politically connected interests.
A permanent solution: Present a credible plan for stabilising fuel prices, strengthening local refining, and reducing the cost of transportation.
An end to political deception: Nigerians deserve honest leadership, not temporary concessions packaged as economic transformation.
A 30-day discount cannot erase years of failed promises. It cannot restore the purchasing power of workers, revive struggling businesses, or reverse the damage inflicted on ordinary families. Nigerians will not be distracted by a short-lived gesture while the broader cost-of-living crisis continues unchecked.
The Tinubu administration must understand that Nigerians are awake, watchful, and determined to demand accountability. Relief is not a favour. Affordable fuel, transparent governance, and economic dignity are the rights of the Nigerian people.
The Village Boys Movement will continue to stand with the masses towards the attainment of a New Nigeria envisioned Mr Peter Gregory Obi (Presidential Candidate of Nigeria Democratic Congress - NDC).
Every attempt to use temporary political relief to conceal permanent economic failure will be exposed.

Fellow Party Members and Nigerians,
Today, the Court of Appeal, sitting in Abuja, has set aside the judgment of the Federal High Court, Lokoja, delivered by Justice Isah Dashen a few months ago, which purported to order the deregistration of our party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a judgment delivered by the presiding Justice, Justice Mohammed Danjuma and read by Justice Hassan, the Court ruled in favour of allowing our appeal, which challenged the faulty ruling of the Federal High Court, Lokoja, and accordingly, set aside Justice Dashen’s judgment.
We want to use this opportunity once again to commend the Nigerian judiciary, and in particular, Hon. Justice Danjuma and Hon. Justice Hassan, for upholding the integrity of the Nigerian judiciary and, by their decisions, expanding the sphere of multiparty democratic participation in Nigeria.
We have said repeatedly that the NDC was set up to expand the frontier of multiparty democracy in Nigeria. Justice Dashen’s judgment a few months ago was an unexpected assault on our constitutional right to participate and an attempt to narrow the democratic space.
Happily, today, by the decision of the Court of Appeal, the Nigerian democratic space has been protected, and the NDC’s right to participate in all political activities as a registered political party has been upheld.
I congratulate all members and candidates of our great party, the NDC, and thank Nigerians for their prayers and support.
When the unexpected judgment of the Lokoja Federal High Court was delivered, we were bombarded with several calls for sympathy, support and prayers. Today, our collective prayers have been answered.
The NDC continues to exist. Our registration remains valid and subsisting, and we and all our candidates will participate in all elections in 2027 and beyond, by the grace of God.
Everyone should now focus on the campaigns, prepare for the elections, and focus on the task ahead to face the APC and defeat them at the polls.
A resort to arm-twisting, inducing or intimidating the judiciary will not work. We remain confident in the strength of our message, the commitment of our members, the viability of our candidates, and the support of Nigerians. With this conviction, we look forward to the forthcoming elections and are confident that the NDC will emerge victorious at the polls, by the grace of God.
The fight for Nigeria's multiparty democracy continues and by the grace of God we will emerge victorious.
NDC ALL THE WAY✌️

Appeal Court delivers judgment on Nigeria’s NDC registration and disputed logo
naijanews.com/2026/09/18/app…
Through the years, you have made us laugh and also cry as you showed your power to interpret roles. Indeed, you took so many bows too as you were acknowledged and applauded.
Alas! You have taken the final bow: not off the stage but out of life. Rest on sir.
Our sincere condolences go to the family, friends, and the industry you represented so well. Rest in peace sir.
Finally! We move on with confidence.
Fellow Party Members and Nigerians,
It is our pleasure to announce that yesterday, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, presided over by Hon. Justice J. O. Abdulmalik, granted the prayers of the NDC in a suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to upload and utilise our modified digital logo, as contained in our party’s constitution, instead of the association logo with which the NDC was originally registered.
The party had, at our first NEC meeting, approved and forwarded our modified logo to INEC, which subsequently uploaded it. However, without any reason communicated to us, INEC later removed the modified logo and insisted on using the old logo of the association, a position we disagreed with. After giving INEC sufficient time to correct the situation without any action taken, we were compelled to go to court.
We therefore commend the judiciary for its timely intervention and welcome the judgment directing INEC to forthwith upload and utilise our modified digital logo. We commend the judiciary for upholding the party’s legitimate position and ensuring that due process is respected.
We also commend all party members, particularly our candidates, for their patience and understanding throughout this period. We urge all candidates and party members to forthwith adopt and utilise the approved logo in all campaign materials, including banners, posters and other publicity materials.
I want to assure everyone that the party has experienced and strategic leaders who understand what we are doing. Therefore, nobody should panic. Members are free to raise questions and concerns, but there is absolutely no reason for panic.
We understand that some candidates and party members may have already made arrangements using the other logo, and we regret the inconvenience this may have caused. However, both logos retain the two-finger victory sign. Candidates should now transition to the logo approved in our party’s constitution, which is the authentic party logo and, indeed, the one that is more widely recognised.
We regard the challenges surrounding this matter as part of the administrative machinations we have continued to confront. But we want to assure our members that we are democratic fighters. We do not run away from battles.
We thank God that the judiciary has once again vindicated our position.
Accordingly, from this moment, the party and all its candidates should use and refer to the constitutionally approved modified digital logo in all campaign and party-related materials.
The party will issue a formal statement and embark on appropriate publicity to ensure that all members and candidates are properly guided, while also sensitising the voting public. There is still time to do so.
We thank all our members, candidates and supporters for their patience, understanding and steadfastness.
Together, we remain focused in SERVICE. Together, we move forward.
NDC all the way!
