The national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Seriake Dickson, yesterday declared that his party will participate in the 2027 general elections, dismissing a controversial court ruling last Friday as legally defective and devoid of jurisdictional basis.
Dickson, a former two-term governor of Bayelsa State and legal practitioner, spoke on Channels Television, where he addressed the ruling head-on and assured party members, candidates and supporters that the NDC remained firmly on course.
Dickson said: “NDC is on the ballot. All our candidates will be on the ballot. NDC has not been deregistered and won’t be deregistered. The laws of this country will speak. Justice will run its course, and they have nothing to worry about.”
