Sen. Seriake Dickson, National leader of the NDC.
By Henry Umoru
ABUJA- CANDIDATES of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, have commended the National leader of the party, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, for working assiduously for the recently published list by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Although there had been a lot of apprehension on the part of Candidates seeking to stand election on the platform of the NDC as a result of the delay in publishing the names, especially for those contesting for seats in the two chambers of the National Assembly, much of the fears have been laid to rest with the latest development, even as the former Bayelsa State Governor remains the stabilizing factor that has restored calm from the tension that threatened to tear the new party apart.
In a statement yesterday, many of the candidates whose names have now been published said they were particularly grateful to Dickson for not only rescuing their political careers, the future of which looked rather gloomy and doomed with the seeming tilt of the ruling APC towards a one-party state and the characteristic emasculation of opposition voices and parties, but also doing so transparently and without extorting aspirants. And for this, accolades have continued to pour in for the NDC National Leader.
