NDC Chairman Claims Peter Obi's Actions Threaten Elections

David Chukwudifu, the Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Anambra State, expressed concerns that the party might not win a single ward for its presidential candidate in the upcoming elections due to alleged marginalization of existing party executives. Chukwudifu accused Peter Obi and his associates of sidelining the established leadership while allowing a separate group to conduct political activities independently.

He stated that this situation has weakened the party's organization in Anambra and could jeopardize its electoral chances. Chukwudifu clarified that his issues are not personal, as he has never met Obi, but stem from the failure to recognize the existing party executives.

He conducted the party's state congress on May 4, 2026, a day after Obi joined the NDC, and attended the national convention on May 9, 2026. Chukwudifu claimed attempts to contact Obi went unanswered and highlighted that another group began managing party affairs without consulting the established leadership, further complicating the situation.
