NDC primary fallout: What I discussed with Kwankwaso – Seriake Dickson

Former Bayelsa State Governor and chieftain of the National Democratic Coalition, NDC, Seriake Dickson, has disclosed details of his meeting with former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, saying their discussions centred on resolving internal issues within the party in Kano State.

Dickson made this known in a statement shared on his Facebook page on Tuesday following a meeting with Kwankwaso and senior NDC officials at his residence.

According to him, the meeting was part of his ongoing mediation efforts aimed at ensuring unity between party officials in Kano State and Kwankwaso, whom he described as the party’s leader in the state and vice-presidential candidate.

He noted that the NDC was rapidly emerging as a leading opposition platform in Nigeria and that disagreements were inevitable in any growing political movement. However, he stressed that such issues were being addressed through dialogue, consultation and reconciliation.

Dickson expressed confidence that the discussions with Kwankwaso would strengthen cooperation within the party and help members work together towards achieving electoral success.

He further described the Kwankwasiyya Movement and the Obidient Movement as important support groups for the party, revealing that steps were being taken to integrate their members into NDC activities nationwide.

“The Kwankwasiyya Movement, the Obidient Movement and other support groups remain valuable mobilization networks. I had earlier recieved a courtesy delegation some weeks ago by the Obidient Movement and promised to ensure their integration into the activities of our party at various levels across the country; and the same for the Kwankwasiyya movement which I have asked for their list of coordinators to be forwarded to the party for the same purpose. This process will be undertaken in a structured and orderly manner,” Dickson said.
