NDC Launches Campaign Council for 2027 Elections

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has unveiled its National Campaign Council for the upcoming 2027 general election. Senator Henry Seriake Dickson has been appointed as chairman, while the party's presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, and vice-presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, will serve in significant positions within the campaign structure.

The announcement has attracted criticism from Hon. John Ozyl Ughulu, the National Director-General of the OK Movement, who questioned the readiness of political organizations that are only now forming their campaign teams. Ughulu emphasized that having prominent names on a campaign council does not guarantee electoral success, particularly without a solid grassroots structure.

The NDC's campaign council will also include Senator Cleopas Moses Zuwoghe as vice-chairman, Ikenna Morgan Enekweizu as council secretary, and Mallam Ibrahim Hussain Abdulkarim as Director-General. The council aims to coordinate campaign activities and promote the party's vision of a new, just, and prosperous Nigeria ahead of the January 2027 election.
