The Nigeria Democratic Congress has said it is opening its doors to members of other political parties nationwide, expressing confidence that it will secure victory in Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
Speaking to journalists in Owerri, Imo State capital, on Thursday, the party’s National Vice Chairman, South East, Chief Teddy Obey, described the NDC as a “clean, uncompromised platform” for Nigerians tired of “recycled promises.”
“Nigeria is looking for a clean, uncompromised platform. That platform is NDC,” Obey declared.
He argued that the party’s biggest advantage is its status as the newest political party in Nigeria and the only one without palpable litigation hanging on its neck.
“Go and check. Others are in court, dragging over who owns their souls. We’re in the field building our structure. A house divided against itself cannot stand. A house without a court case can stand,” he said.
Obey said he was in Imo State to host a meeting at a neutral venue to achieve two objectives, saying, “First, to address grievances openly. Second, to avert any suspicion of compromise. NDC is a new party, and we must show Nigerians that we’re different.”
Obey announced new interim appointments for the party in Imo State.
He said Reginald Uwakwe was named Interim State Chairman, while Fabian Onyekwulisi will serve as Chairman of both the Contact and Mobilisation Committee and the Candidate Selection Processes Committee.
