National leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has stepped up consultations ahead of the 2027 general elections, meeting the party’s state chairmen from the North-West and declaring that victory remains achievable.

The former Bayelsa State governor said the meeting reviewed preparations for the campaigns and the strategy required to deliver the party’s candidates across the zone.

In a post on his verified X handle, Dickson described the North-West as a critical region in Nigeria’s political calculations and urged party leaders, members and supporters to close ranks ahead of the elections.

“It was a pleasure to host a strategic meeting of the national leadership of our party with the State chairmen of the North-West Zone, a very critical region in the politics of our country,” he said.

Dickson also praised the party’s leaders in the zone, particularly its vice-presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, for what he described as their readiness to work for the success of the NDC.

“I commend the leaders of the zone led by our Vice Presidential candidate, His Excellency Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, for their commitment and readiness to work for the success of our party,” he said.

According to him, the discussions were productive and strengthened the party’s confidence ahead of the polls.

“The discussions were fruitful, and we remain confident that victory is achievable,” Dickson added.

The NDC is fielding former Anambra State governor Peter Obi as its presidential candidate, with Kwankwaso as his running mate for the 2027 election.
