The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Seriake Dickson, has said that Nigeria’s democracy must survive despite all odds.
Dickson made this assertion in a statement posted on his verified X handle on Wednesday.
He said that the NDC is dealing with the legal and contrived shenanigans of anti-democratic forces, noting that the storm shall pass and become a story of the past.
The former Bayelsa state governor expressed trust in the judiciary to do the right thing according to the law and not allow itself to be used as an instrument to derail democracy.
He lamented that people he raised and supported throughout his life to serve the people turned around and weaponise the instruments of government to sack people from office, victimise innocent citizens, spread unfounded propaganda, and repay the good he did for them, their families, and their communities with wickedness and evil.
“Nigeria’s democracy must survive. Multi-party democracy must survive no matter the different odds we may face in the course of returning Nigeria on the right course.
“I have watched with immense pride and satisfaction that, while I laboured here with my colleagues to strengthen and build our party nationally, droves of leaders and citizens, men and women, young and old, have continued to troop out to register, join, and actively participate in the affairs and activities of our party,” he wrote.
