The national leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed confidence that its candidate, Arch. Ishaya Dodo, will emerge victorious in the Nasarawa North Senatorial bye-election scheduled for Saturday, citing widespread grassroots support and growing momentum across the district.
Speaking at the grand finale of the party’s campaign in Akwanga on Thursday, the NDC National Vice Chairman for North Central, Engr. Banabas Ejisi, said the party was optimistic of winning the poll.
Ejisi, who represented key national figures of the party, including National Leader Senator Seriake Dickson, presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi, running mate Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and the party’s national chairman, described the election as crucial to restoring effective representation to the senatorial district following the death of former Senator Godiya Akwashiki.
