According to the former Bayelsa State governor, the NDC had made significant concessions to Obi and his supporters in the interest of building a formidable opposition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has said the party handed its 2027 presidential ticket to Peter Obi without collecting any money from him, insisting that the former Anambra State governor was also allowed to freely select his running mate without interference from party leaders.
Dickson made the remarks on Thursday during an NDC stakeholders’ meeting, amid lingering tensions between some members of the Obidient Movement and the leadership of the opposition party.
According to the former Bayelsa State governor, the NDC had made significant concessions to Obi and his supporters in the interest of building a formidable opposition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“We gave Obi the presidential ticket free of charge and allowed him to choose his vice presidential candidate without any interference from the party. What else do people want?” Dickson said.
