Candidates of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) whose names appeared on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) list have commended the party’s National Leader, Seriake Dickson, for resolving disputes arising from the party’s primaries.
The candidates, in separate remarks on Wednesday, said Dickson’s intervention helped address concerns over delays in the publication of the party’s candidates’ list, especially for National Assembly elections.
They said his efforts contributed to reconciling aggrieved aspirants and restoring confidence within the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Nkechi Nwaogu, NDC candidate for Abia Central Senatorial District and former senator, commended Dickson for his role in guiding the party through challenges associated with the primaries and nomination process.
Nwaogu urged aspirants who did not secure the party’s tickets to remain committed, saying electoral contests produce winners and losers.
She appealed to them to support the party’s efforts toward victory in the 2027 elections.
“I appeal to aspirants who did not get tickets to see this as a contest in which those who lost today can win tomorrow.
“They should work with our party to ensure its victory in the 2027 elections,” she said.
Also reacting, Nnamdi Iroegbu, who did not secure the party’s House of Representatives ticket for Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency in Imo, accepted the outcome and pledged continued support for the party. (NAN) www.nannews.ng
