Dickson Defends NDC Registration Process Amid Criticism

Seriake Dickson, the former governor of Bayelsa State and a leader of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC), defended the party's registration process, stating it adhered to due process. He made these remarks in response to claims that the NDC's recent registration did not meet legal requirements.

Dickson highlighted that the NDC's formation dates back to 2017 and that the party aims to attract 10 million members within 48 hours. Prominent political figures, including former Anambra State governor Peter Obi and former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, have joined the NDC.

Dickson also noted that the party's state congress was held to elect a state executive committee. He emphasized the NDC's focus on inclusivity, mentorship, and service, aiming to engage youth and women in politics.

Furthermore, he called on Nigerians to participate actively in the political process and not be distracted by criticisms surrounding the party's legitimacy.
