The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced the resolution of internal disagreements that emerged after its recent primary elections, following a high-level reconciliation meeting between the party’s National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The crucial meeting, held on Friday, 12 June 2026, brought together key stakeholders of the party and was aimed at addressing tensions between members of the Kwankwasiya Movement and legacy party officials.
According to the NDC’s Director of Communications, Theo Agada, the closed-door session lasted for about three hours and ended with all outstanding concerns being amicably resolved.
In a statement shared on his verified X handle, Senator Dickson urged party members to put aside internal disputes and remain focused on the broader objective of winning future elections and providing an alternative to the ruling government.
“I just received my brother, colleague, and partner in the New Nigerian Project, His Excellency Mr Peter Gregory Obi, CON, our presidential candidate, who, together with some distinguished leaders of our party, held a closed-door meeting which lasted about three hours.
“In the course of that meeting, we reviewed the activities of our party and discussed a few recent issues that have been a source of concern to all sides, and we amicably resolved all the issues.”
Dickson acknowledged that while differences had
surfaced within the party, its leaders remained united in their determination to strengthen the NDC and prepare for future electoral contests.He further appealed to members across the country to avoid unnecessary confrontations and divisive rhetoric.
“I want to use this opportunity again to call on all members of our party to stop the bickering and name-calling and focus on the bigger picture,” he stated.
The party also dismissed reports circulating on social media claiming that an official list of candidates had been released, insisting that no such list had been approved and urging members of the public to disregard unverified information.
To reassure stakeholders, the NDC leadership reaffirmed its commitment to internal democracy, stressing that no candidates would be imposed on any state chapter, including the disputed structures in Kano State and Imo State.
As part of efforts to strengthen party structures ahead of future elections, the National Executive Committee (NEC) approved stricter financial accountability measures and resolved that all affiliated non-governmental groups must operate within established party regulations.
The latest development is expected to ease concerns over internal divisions and bolster confidence among party supporters as the NDC intensifies preparations for upcoming political engagements.
