The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, on Wednesday appealed to aspirants who participated in the party’s recently concluded primary elections to accept the outcomes and support efforts to strengthen the party ahead of future elections.
Obi made the appeal during the second National Executive Committee meeting of the NDC in Abuja, amid ongoing efforts by the party leadership to consolidate its structure and address concerns arising from the primaries.
The NDC, one of Nigeria’s emerging opposition political platforms, recently concluded nationwide congresses, conventions and primary elections as part of preparations for upcoming electoral contests.
Speaking at the meeting, Obi said internal competition was inevitable in a democratic process but cautioned against allowing grievances from the primaries to undermine the party’s broader objectives.
“I want to sincerely appeal to all our aspirants—those who participated in our primaries—to accept the outcomes in good faith.
