The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Seriake Dickson, has described the G100’s efforts to produce a consensus presidential candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections as a good initiative. He recently had his say while appearing as a guest on Arise Television’s Prime Time, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Stressing that the NDC remains focused on winning the upcoming election, Dickson stated that the group’s thinking is not misplaced and the party, in principle, endorsed the initiative.
He, however, added that the NDC has already settled its presidential ticket and is now focused on convincing Nigerians to guarantee victory at the polls.
His words, “My friends who are organising the G100 came to see me, Saliu and his people. They are great Nigerians doing a great job, and their thinking is not misplaced. The NDC is aware of the moves and the efforts they are making.
The NDC, in principle, endorses what they are doing, and we have made it clear that, well, the general commitments are good. Their assignment really is, they say, the devil is in the details.
And our position is very clear. We have the most exciting ticket. We have the most vibrant ticket. We have an appealing ticket. We have a balanced ticket. We have a ticket that resonates with the Nigerian people at home and abroad.
We are the strongest ticket, and I believe that they know that. I believe that every Nigerian knows it. And this is without any form of disrespect or dishonour to any other candidate or any other party.
Therefore, we remain committed to working with everybody. In principle, no problem, but we are going into the election as NDC. If other parties and candidates support us, which we think they should do, well and good. But we are working to win the election. But we’ll be happy if they see what we’re doing and endorse us so that we can win the election for the Nigerian people.”
