Peter Obi Confirms 'Fruitful Discussions' with Dickson, Kwankwaso, and NDC Leaders on Democracy Day
Abuja, Nigeria – On Nigeria's Democracy Day, June 12, 2026, prominent political figures Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Senator Seriake Dickson, alongside other leaders of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), engaged in strategic meetings aimed at solidifying the party's vision for a 'New Nigeria'.
Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the NDC, took to his official X account to share details of the "useful meetings" held with NDC National Leader Senator Seriake Dickson and Vice Presidential candidate Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso. Obi emphasized that these discussions were centered on advancing the collective goal of building a "New Nigeria that is Possible."
Despite the NDC being a relatively new political platform, barely four months old, Obi highlighted its commitment to a future-oriented vision. He noted that the "fruitful discussions" underscored the party's potential and the importance of sacrifice, tolerance, and unity among its leaders and members, especially during challenging times. Obi stressed that such shared understanding is crucial for building trust, strengthening unity, and sustaining their vision for national transformation.
These meetings come in the wake of reported internal party disagreements and resolutions. Senator Dickson, in a recent statement, confirmed that internal crises within the NDC, stemming from primary elections, had been amicably resolved following consultations with key stakeholders, including Peter Obi and Prof. Pat Utomi. Dickson urged party members to cease internal bickering and focus on the larger goal of 'rescuing Nigeria'.
The series of meetings also follows earlier consultations in May 2026, where Obi and Kwankwaso met with Dickson amid reports of potential political realignments and defections to the NDC from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to internal crises. These earlier meetings were seen as part of broader efforts to forge alliances ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Obi reiterated the NDC's commitment to providing purposeful, compassionate leadership grounded in productivity and democratic ideals, positioning the party as the vehicle for national renewal and the realization of a 'New Nigeria'.
