National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Senator Seriake Dickson, declared on Thursday that the party gave both its presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi and vice-presidential candidate, Eng. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso free hand to choose candidates and officials for various positions.

Senator Dickson, who spoke at a news conference in Abuja, rejected claims in certain quarters that there was a conflict of interest between the leadership on one hand and Peter Obi and Kwankwaso on the other hand.
