The National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, has stated that the party handed its presidential ticket to Peter Obi without demanding any payment and also gave him complete freedom to select his running mate.
Speaking during an NDC stakeholders’ meeting on Thursday, Dickson said the party made significant concessions to Obi and his supporters, questioning why some members of the Obidient movement still appear dissatisfied.
“We gave Obi the presidential ticket free of charge and allowed him to choose his vice presidential candidate without any interference from the party. What else do people want?” he said.
Dickson stressed that neither he nor the party’s national chairman requested money in exchange for the nomination.
“I will have no issues giving the presidential nomination to them. And like I said last night, nobody demanded money from them. Not me or the national chairman,” he added.
The former governor noted that attention should now be focused on building unity and strengthening the party ahead of the 2027 general election.
“At this point we should be working together to ensure victory at the polls come 2027, and I believe we can do it,” he said.
