Peter Obi, Dickson, Kwankwaso at NDC Convention in Abuja

On May 9, 2026, Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate, along with Seriake Dickson and Rabiu Kwankwaso, attended the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) National Convention held in Abuja. This convention was expected to attract delegates from different regions of the country.

The event took place at the Ahmadu Bello Federal Capital Territory in Abuja and served as a strategic political meeting for the attendees. Both Peter Obi and Seriake Dickson are former governors who recently defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the NDC.

The participation of these prominent political figures has led to speculation regarding the possibility of Obi and Kwankwaso emerging as candidates for the NDC in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
