NDC to Use Crowdfunding for 2027 Elections Funding

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) intends to adopt a crowdfunding model to facilitate financial contributions from Nigerians for the party's activities leading up to the 2027 general elections. Osa Director, the NDC National Publicity Secretary, announced this during an interview with Trust TV, stating that the initiative aims to diminish the influence of wealthy donors on the party.

He referenced the successful crowdfunding efforts of the Obidient Movement during the 2023 elections as a model for this approach. Director emphasized that contributions would be accessible to all Nigerians, regardless of their financial capacity, and that tracking of funds would be implemented with oversight from financial experts and auditors.

While the party has not yet set a limit on individual donations, it plans to consult with stakeholders before doing so. Large donations will be considered but will undergo scrutiny to avoid potential legal or political risks.
