Sen. Seriake Dickson, National leader of the NDC.

The founder and national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Seriake Dickson, has cautioned supporters of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, against attacking the party and its leadership, describing such actions as counterproductive to Obi’s presidential ambition.

Speaking during an interview with ARISE NEWS on Wednesday, Dickson dismissed claims of a crisis within the NDC and insisted that the party remains united despite disagreements arising from its recent primary elections.

Reacting to criticisms from some Obi supporters, Dickson argued that it was illogical for individuals who want the former Anambra State governor to win the presidency to undermine the platform on which he is contesting.
