Senator Seriake Dickson, the national leader of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, has revealed details of a recent discussion he had with the party’s vice presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

In a post on his official Facebook page on Monday, Senator Dickson said Kwankwaso informed him of positive developments emerging from his engagements and consultations.

Dickson also said that the former Governor of Kano State had successfully uploaded his details to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal.

He wrote, “I have just visited and held discussions with our Vice Presidential candidate, His Excellency Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, CON.

“I was briefed on very positive developments arising from his engagements and consultations, and he also confirmed that he has concluded his deposition, and his name has been successfully uploaded to the INEC portal as the vice presidential candidate of our great party for the 2027 presidential election.”

He declared that the party’s leadership and members “remain on course and steadfast in our commitment to the mission ahead. Long live the NDC. Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Ogbeide Associates, Solicitors and Counsel holding brief for the factional Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, on Tuesday said the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Tunji Disu is yet to acknowledge its petition against the party’s National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu and factional National Chairman, Abdulrahman Mohammed seven days after it was sent to him.

On 23rd June 2026, the lawyers had  petitioned Disu demanding an investigation into Anyanwu and  Mohammed over a letter dated 3rd November 2025 addressed to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

The petition alleges that the letter falsely claimed the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, had suspended Ambassador Umar Iliya Damagum as Acting National Chairman and appointed Mohammed in his place.

However, in a statement signed by Anthony Ehilebo on behalf of the law firm said: “On 23rd June 2026, Ogbeide Associates formally filed a petition at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, requesting the Inspector General of Police to investigate Senator Samuel Anyanwu and Hon. Abdulrahman Mohammed over alleged false information furnished to INEC in the PDP leadership crisis.

“It is now seven (7) days later, no acknowledgment, no invitation to either man, no update.

“For context: when a manipulated, AI-generated audio clip falsely attributed to President Tinubu went viral on 27th May 2026, the Police announced an arrest in the matter by 4th June 2026, about one week.

“We make no allegation as to why our petition backed by a subsisting Federal High Court judgment, an official NWC resolution, an official meeting attendance record, and a Court of Appeal judgment, has not yet received the same urgency.

“We simply place the facts before Nigerians. We call on the IGP to confirm receipt and indicate next steps.

“Should there be no substantive response within a reasonable further period, all available legal remedies, including proceedings to compel action, will be pursued. Nigerians are watching, the documents are public, silence is not an answer.”

Some members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State have formed an alliance to support the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the House of Representatives seat for the Anaocha/Njikoka/Dunukofia Federal Constituency.

The coalition, which met on Tuesday in Abagana, Njikoka Local Government Area of the state, told journalists that it had resolved to pitch its tent with the APGA candidate, Mr. Chukwudi Oli.

The coalition, after its meeting, adopted Oli as its preferred candidate for the House of Representatives, saying it had done a great deal of introspection and found that, beyond party lines, the area needs a strong voice in the Green Chamber.

Members of the group declared their support for Oli during a consultative meeting held at the APGA House of Representatives candidate’s campaign office, where various leaders of the party in the area spoke about their confidence in him.

In their separate speeches on behalf of the group, the leader, Ozo Ejiamatu, and the chairman, Mr. Onyenechi Ezeaso, said they decided to support Oli because of his proven passion and commitment to the progress of the various communities within the federal constituency and humanity at large.

“In this group, some of us are members of the PDP, APC, NDC, and other political parties.

“But we decided to come together to support you because we are convinced that, by supporting you, we are working for ourselves. We know that you are going to work for the progress of the DNA (Dunukofia/Njikoka/Anaocha Federal Constituency) when you get to the House of Representatives.

“We don’t want to allow selfish politicians who have been deceiving our people to win elections in this federal constituency again because they have deceived us enough,” Ejiamatu stated.

Expressing gratitude to members of the group for their trust, Oli pledged that he would not disappoint them if elected.

He said his political mantra was anchored on “accountability, transparency, togetherness, and touching lives.”

He vowed that, if elected to the House of Representatives, he would not use his position to pursue personal gains but would deploy his capacity and influence to develop the federal constituency while awaiting divine reward.
