Dickson, Obi, Kwankwaso receives NDC Reps

The NDC caucus in Nigeria’s House of Representatives reaffirmed its loyalty to party leader Senator Henry Seriake Dickson during a visit to his Abuja residence on Wednesday. Led by Minority Leader Victor Afam Ogene, the delegation included lawmakers such as George Ozodinobi, Okey-Joe Onuakalusi, and Lillian Orogbu, among others. The meeting also featured former presidential candidates Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who represented the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the 2023 election. Ogene stated the caucus’s commitment to NDC’s motto, ‘Service to the People,’ and vowed to hold the federal government accountable for democratic governance. He emphasized the caucus’s growing influence in the House of Representatives, positioning the NDC as the leading opposition bloc. ‘Our voice will be heard nationally and internationally,’ Ogene declared, assuring loyalty to both the party and Nigerian citizens. Kwankwaso responded on behalf of Dickson and other leaders, praising the lawmakers for their loyalty, which he called a rare virtue in Nigerian politics. He thanked the caucus for aligning with the party’s leadership and urged continued dedication to opposition duties. The gathering underscored the NDC’s preparations for the 2027 general elections, with a focus on accountability and strengthened parliamentary opposition. The visit highlighted the NDC’s strategic positioning ahead of key political contests, with Dickson, Obi, and Kwankwaso reinforcing unity among party members. The caucus’s pledge to serve Nigerians through effective opposition aligns with broader efforts to challenge the ruling government’s policies and priorities.
