NDC Deregistration: Seriake Dickson Speaks On Possible Coalition, Lists Options
The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Seriake Dickson, has hinted at a possible coalition with other political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
NEWSNGR reports that Dickson made the remarks during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics when asked whether the NDC would consider aligning with other opposition figures, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Dickson said the party remains open to discussions with other opposition parties, while expressing hope that any eventual coalition would rally behind the NDC’s candidates.
According to Senator Dickson, the NDC will not claim superiority, but there are options to be considered regarding the coalition.
He said, “As an opposition leader, we will be open. Our party, the NDC, will be open to conversations within that space.
“But it is not for me or anyone to pre-empt those discussions. We hope that whatever discussions take place will lead to the NDC candidates being backed because we know the value of the candidates we are putting forward.
“We are not claiming superiority. After the nomination process has ended, we will move into another phase of discussions. Whether there will be an agreement, I don’t know. We will try. Where it will lead, I don’t know, but all those are options that remain open.”
The former Governor of Bayelsa State also expressed confidence that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would be defeated if Nigerians were allowed to freely choose their leaders.
He added, “As leader of the NDC, and as a Nigerian who knows the feelings and yearnings of Nigerians, and who also knows that their aspirations have not been met, we believe that the APC government, the APC as a party, not just the President (Tinubu), will be defeated massively.
“Allow every party that wants to contest. You can only defeat them in an electoral contest. So, let us have a free and fair election.”
