Seriake Dickson, the National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has declared that the party provided Peter Obi with the presidential ticket without receiving any payment from him. During a stakeholders’ meeting on Thursday, Dickson emphasized that the NDC permitted Obi to select his running mate independently, without any party interference.
Dickson expressed bewilderment over the demands from Obi’s supporters, known as Obidients. He stated, “We provided the presidential ticket at no charge and allowed Obi to choose his vice presidential candidate without any party involvement. What more do people expect?”
The former Bayelsa governor noted that neither he nor the national chairman solicited any money from the campaign. He added, “At this stage, our focus should be on collaborating for victory in the 2027 elections. I believe we can achieve this.”
