Obi Promises Rewards for Loyal NDC Aspirants in Abuja

Peter Obi, the presidential candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), addressed party members during a dinner in Abuja, where he assured loyal aspirants who may miss out on tickets for the 2027 elections that their sacrifices and contributions to the party will not go unrewarded. Obi acknowledged the challenges faced by those seeking electoral positions and encouraged them to remain committed to the political process.

He stated that despite not securing nominations, their hard work would be recognized by the party. Obi also reflected on his recent visit to South Africa, where he discussed issues affecting Nigerians living abroad, noting their reluctance to return home due to worsening conditions in Nigeria.
