NDC Vows to Participate in 2027 Elections Despite Attacks

The National Leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) declared that no one can prevent the party from participating in the 2027 general elections, despite facing repeated attacks on its members. This statement was made by the party's National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, in response to an alleged attack during a peaceful grassroots meeting in Obuoffia Ward, Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State.

The NDC condemned the incident as unprovoked and asserted that such intimidation would not hinder its political activities. The party claimed that similar attacks had occurred in other areas of the South-East, including Imo State, and criticized security agencies for their inadequate response.

The NDC accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu of being unsettled by the party's increasing support, although it did not provide evidence for this claim. The NDC emphasized that these attacks would only strengthen their resolve to mobilize supporters nationwide and called for an immediate investigation into the incidents.
