National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, has reaffirmed the party’s unity and commitment to defending Nigeria’s multi-party democracy despite the recent Federal High Court ruling affecting the party.
Dickson disclosed this in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) account after hosting the NDC’s vice-presidential candidate, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, for a meeting on issues concerning the party.
According to him, the discussions centred on the legal challenges arising from the recent court judgment and the measures being taken by the party to address the situation.
“I just received my brother and our Vice Presidential candidate, His Excellency Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and we discussed issues of mutual interest concerning our party,” Dickson wrote.
The former Bayelsa State governor said both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to working together to protect Nigeria’s democratic values and preserve the country’s multi-party system.
“We reaffirmed our resolve to stand together in the fight for multi-party democracy, and I briefed him on the measures the party is taking to correct and redress the distractions occasioned by the anomalous ruling of the Federal High Court,” he stated.
Expressing confidence in the party’s legal position, Dickson added: “We are on course.”
The meeting comes as the NDC continues its legal battle against the recent Federal High Court judgment, which reversed an earlier order directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to register the party. The party has already filed an appeal and insists it remains committed to participating in the 2027 general elections.
