The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Seriake Dickson, has declared that members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are not enemies of his party despite their political differences.
Dickson made the declaration in a statement shared on his social media platforms on Monday, following the inauguration of the NDC’s National Campaign Council in Abuja.
He urged political leaders and their supporters to embrace peaceful, issue-based campaigns ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“To our brothers in the APC, I say again that you are not our enemies,” Dickson stated.
He maintained that political disagreements should be resolved democratically, with Nigerians deciding which party deserves their mandate.
The former Bayelsa State governor, however, challenged the APC to defend its performance since assuming power in 2015.
He questioned whether Nigerians were safer and better off under the ruling party, insisting that the 2027 elections should serve as a referendum on its record.
Dickson also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to ensure that the elections are free, fair and credible.
He warned security personnel against allowing themselves to be used to undermine the will of voters.
Earlier on Monday, the NDC held its National Executive Committee meeting, inaugurated its new national secretariat and formally unveiled its campaign council.
The activities were attended by the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, his running mate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and other party leaders.
Dickson expressed confidence that the NDC would emerge victorious in 2027, promising to take its political message to Nigerians across the country.
