• NDC begins screening, warns aspirants against thuggery
Chuks Okocha and Sunday Aborisade in Abuja
As the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) yesterday intensified preparations for the 2027 general election, a former governor of Anambra State and presidential aspirant on the party’s platform, Mr. Peter Obi, has met with South African ministers in a move to address rising immigration concerns involving Nigerians residing in that country.
This is as Obi also pushed back against suggestions that he was avoiding former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Meanwhile, he has also contrasted the lending practices of British banks with what he described as Nigeria’s collateral-dependent banking system.
