NDC will defeat federal might in 2027 – Seriake Dickson

National Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has expressed confidence that the party will overcome what he described as “federal might” in the 2027 general elections.

Dickson also pledged that the party would resist any attempt to intimidate voters, insisting that the elections must be free, peaceful and reflect the will of the people.

In a post on his X account, the former Bayelsa State governor said there should be no room for violence, intimidation or the use of security operatives and armed thugs against law-abiding Nigerians during the polls.

“I want to assure you that every vote will count. There will be no room for violence, intimidation, or the deployment of security operatives and armed thugs against law-abiding citizens, as some people do.

“We believe the people’s will is supreme. Thank you once again for your prayers and support for me and for all the candidates of our party.

“Together, we must remain vigilant and ready to democratically resist intimidation, oppression, violence, inducements, and every attempt to undermine the will of our people.

“We have defeated federal might severally before, and, by the grace of God, we shall do so again, with me leading from the front, as you know,” Dickson said.

He maintained that the NDC would continue to mobilise its supporters ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The NDC is expected to participate in the 2027 presidential election with Peter Obi as its presidential candidate.
