NDC: Peter Obi present when motion for party supremacy was passed – Dickson

National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, disclosed that the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, was present when the motion for party supremacy was passed.

Speaking at the NDC stakeholder meeting on Thursday, Dickson emphasized that appointments and nominations will be made with the consensus of the party and its stakeholders.

He was addressing the party’s directive that affiliated groups such as the Obidient Movement operate under NDC supervision.

According to Dickson, the party does not want a single individual to dominate the leadership.

“His Excellency, Peter Obi was there when this motion on party supremacy was moved by Senator Ovie Omo‑Agege and seconded by Senator Victor Umeh, and it was put to vote and passed.”

“Every elected officer of this party must implement the programmes and policies not according to his or her whims and caprices, but according to the programmes and policies of this party that will be analyzed, discussed, debated, and agreed.”

“So, whether in the National Assembly or elsewhere, we want to build an institution in this country. We may not achieve it in one or two years, but that’s our vision. We say government policies and programmes must align with the party, and a team is fine‑tuning certain things, which we will present to the public.”

“Now, the second element is that appointments and nominations will be done with the consensus of the party and stakeholders at all levels,” Dickson added.
