Speaking at the party’s second National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, Obi urged all contenders to unite and work towards the party’s success in the upcoming general elections. He emphasized that while not everyone can win, a unified front is essential for the party’s future.

Obi commended the rapid progress of the NDC, noting its achievement in conducting congresses, conventions, and primaries within a remarkably short period of about 90 days. He appealed for patience and sacrifice from all members, highlighting the importance of the party’s collective goals over individual outcomes.

With the primary process concluded, Obi stated that the focus must shift from internal competitions to building the NDC as a viable political alternative for 2027. He promised a different approach to leadership, characterized by inclusivity, compassion, and accountability.

To further strengthen the party, Obi announced plans for a nationwide engagement tour, moving away from centralized Abuja meetings to connect directly with Nigerians at the grassroots level. This initiative aims to deepen political education and build policies that directly address the needs of the populace. He also acknowledged the significant challenges facing the nation, including insecurity and poor infrastructure, promising a detailed campaign message in due course.

NDC National Chairman Moses Cleopas echoed Obi’s sentiments regarding the party’s rapid growth, which he described as extraordinary. He attributed this success to collective effort and divine guidance, likening the NDC to a vehicle for national rescue and renewal.

Party Leader Seriake Dickson praised the resilience of the members and announced a comprehensive reconciliation process to unite the party following the primaries. He encouraged those who did not win to maintain hope and remain committed to the party’s future opportunities.

In an accompanying message, the singer issued a stern warning against any form of vote manipulation. He affirmed his intention to be physically present during the election to support his uncle and safeguard the electoral process.

“On August 15, anybody who tries to rig will face the consequences in the highest order. I will be in the field to defend our votes… @aadeleke_01, I’ve got your back, sir!” he wrote.

This announcement is the latest demonstration of Davido’s intense interest in Osun politics. He has previously accused political rivals, including Gboyega Oyetola, of desperation.

Patrick Spiff, previously the Special Assistant on New Media to Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri, has resigned from his post and declared his alignment with the National Democratic Congress (NDC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Records show that Spiff submitted his formal resignation letter on May 29, which was officially received by the state government on June 1. While the letter expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve, it offered no specific reasons for his departure.

Despite the formal tone of his resignation, Spiff’s recent social media activity strongly indicates a fundamental political shift. Even before formally stepping down, he began utilizing his platforms to actively support and promote the NDC. Notably, his profile picture was changed to show him wearing apparel associated with the party.

His digital trail reveals numerous posts predicting strong electoral performances for the NDC in Bayelsa State, including claims that the party will secure key seats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives while defeating rivals across various regions. Furthermore, Spiff has actively encouraged public support for the NDC, describing a positive political trajectory for its members.

This timing has led to widespread speculation that Spiff’s political loyalties had already shifted well before his actual exit from the state government, potentially indicating he was working to further the NDC’s agenda while still employed by Governor Diri’s administration.
