NDC Delays Campaign Council Inauguration for Vetting Process

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) announced that it is taking careful steps to ensure the composition of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) reflects competence, unity, and credibility. National Publicity Secretary Osa Director stated that the process is still undergoing due diligence, which is causing delays in the council's inauguration and the release of the party's manifesto ahead of the 2027 general election.

The NDC has left the decision regarding the inauguration date to its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Director emphasized that the party is being meticulous in assembling the campaign team to align with the strategic objectives of the candidates and the party's broader interests.

He noted that the careful approach aims to create a disciplined and results-oriented campaign structure. However, no specific date for the inauguration or manifesto release has been provided, raising questions about the timeline for unveiling the campaign machinery and policy agenda.
