Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Mr Peter Obi, has disclosed details of his discussions with the party’s National Leader, Seriake Dickson, and vice-presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, amid concerns over internal challenges within the party.

Obi, in a post on X on Friday, said the meetings held on Democracy Day focused on strengthening unity within the NDC and advancing the party’s vision for national transformation.

Together Towards the New Nigeria That Is Possible

“The NDC, as a party that is barely four months old, despite the challenges, remains the party of the future, and the fruitful discussions at the meetings clearly underscore this fact.

“The leaders and members of a committed political family must be willing to make sacrifices and show tolerance and accommodation, even in difficult circumstances. This shared understanding is essential for building trust, strengthening unity, and sustaining the vision we collectively hold for national transformation.

We are all committed to this goal. The NDC remains the vehicle that will convey Nigeria through purposeful, compassionate leadership, with firm commitment to productivity and democratic ideals towards the New Nigeria that is possible.”

According to him, the NDC, despite being barely four months old and facing challenges, remains “the party of the future,” noting that the discussions underscored the commitment of its leaders to the party’s growth and stability.

He stressed the need for leaders and members of the political family to make sacrifices, show tolerance and accommodate differing views, particularly during difficult periods.

Obi said such values were essential for building trust, promoting unity and sustaining the collective vision of delivering a new Nigeria.
