2027: Over 50% of our candidates emerged through consensus – NDC

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has said that more than 50% of its candidates for the 2027 general elections emerged through consensus.

Featuring in an interview on Arise Television on Thursday, the national spokesman of the party, Osa Director, said a lot of people are working hard to sabotage the party’s efforts by alleging that the NDC is no different from other political parties.

Director reaffirmed the party’s commitment to ensuring a transparent and all-inclusive democratic process.

“Over 50% of NDC candidates emerged through consensus. The NDC is a party which is going to conduct itself in such a way that it is no longer business as usual. That is a promise we made to Nigerians.

“However, you find out that the NDC is a bride that is attracting so many suitors, and at the end of the day, only one suitor is going to be allowed to pay the bride price. Then, those who are unable to do that would naturally feel a bit dissatisfied or feel a sense of rejection, but in the NDC, no one is rejected.

“Like my national chairman said, the NDC is a political Noah’s Ark that is going to serve as a vehicle to turn Nigeria to a destination of salvation, a destination where we shall embrace progress and development, and inclusive progress and development,” he said.
