No Litigation In NDC – Dickson

Former Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Seriake Dickson, has described the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as a party devoid of litigations and factional disputes.

Dickson also described the opposition party as Nigeria’s most stable and fastest-growing political platform.

He stated this on Sunday when he received a former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, and his Kano State counterpart, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, into the NDC.

“On behalf of the leaders of our party, and on behalf of the teeming members of our party, well-meaning Nigerians from all over our country who, in the past five months, have defied all odds and conquered all doubts, and invested their trust and confidence in the dream and vision of this party, I thank you all and welcome you especially to the NDC and my humble home,” he said.

Dickson said that although the party is still young, it is ready to “punch above its weight.”

“I welcome you to Nigeria’s fastest-growing political party. I welcome you all to Nigeria’s most stable political party. I welcome you all to a party that has no faction, a party that has no litigation whatsoever. I also want to welcome you all to a party that does not know what is called status quo ante bellum,” the senator said.

He described Obi and Kwankwaso as highly qualified politicians, adding that the party’s formal processes would be unveiled at the appropriate time.

On his part, former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, called on the Federal Government not to transfer political crises into the NDC.

He urged political leaders to embrace democratic principles and desist from “injecting crisis” into opposition parties, while also calling for a free democratic space without government interference.

Also speaking, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso called on Nigerians to register with the NDC without delay.

He announced that his political camp had already commenced registration into the party.
