Sen. Seriake Dickson, National leader of the NDC.

National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Seriake Dickson, has said he does not belong to either the Obidient or Kwankwasiyya political support groups, insisting that his allegiance is to the NDC.

Dickson made the clarification during an interview on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Wednesday, while speaking on the relationship between the party and the support bases of its presidential and vice-presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.

“I’m not a member of Kwankwasiyya. I’m not a member of Obedient. I am NDC,” Dickson said.

He said although the Obidient and Kwankwasiyya groups have their distinct identities and are free to operate independently, their principals are the NDC’s candidates for the 2027 presidential election.
