Senator Seriake Dickson Leaves PDP for NDC

Senator Seriake Dickson, who previously served as the governor of Bayelsa State, has officially left the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). In a media address on Thursday, Dickson expressed that the PDP has become increasingly unwelcoming, stating that it has "shrunk its umbrella" and is no longer able to accommodate its members.

He lamented that the PDP has lost its voice on national issues and is crippled by leadership tussles. Dickson emphasized the necessity for a strong opposition party in Nigeria, urging citizens to register with the new party to foster a better Nigeria.

His departure from the PDP reflects a broader concern about the party's direction and effectiveness in the current political landscape.
