The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Seriake Dickson, has called on the party chieftains to call their supporters to order.
Dickson reportedly made the call at a meeting of NDC stakeholders in Abuja on Thursday.
He was talking about the recent criticism of the party and said that they would not allow anyone to spoil somebody’s image in the party.
“I don’t understand why some people are trying to tarnish the image of NDC and why their leaders can’t call their supporters to order for God’s sake.
“When they came in, we accepted that we’re going to be partners and build this platform together. They are our flag bearers, all of us will support them through the general elections and bring Nigerians the government they deserve.
“We are not going to allow anybody to destroy anybody’s image when you have just come into the party and we have done everything for you,” Dickson said.
Dickson meanwhile said the party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi was free to choose his running mate Rabiu Kwankwaso without interference.
Dickson revealed this during an NDC stakeholders meeting on Thursday, GhanaWeb reports.
The NDC, he added, gave Obi the presidential candidate without asking for a dime from him.
Dickson wondered what the Obidients, Obi’s supporters want from him and the party.
We did not deny Obi the presidential ticket and we even allowed him to pick his vice presidential candidate without interference from the party. What else do people want ?
“I will have no problem giving the presidential nomination to them. And like I said last night, nobody asked them for money. Not me, not national chairman.
“At this time, we should be working together to ensure victory at the polls come 2027 and I think we can do it,” he said.
