Members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress caucus in the House of Representatives on Wednesday renewed their commitment to the party and vowed to intensify efforts to hold the Federal Government accountable ahead of the 2027 elections.
The lawmakers, led by House Minority Leader Victor Afam Ogene, visited the Abuja residence of the party’s national leader, Seriake Dickson, in what appeared to be a strategic political gathering ahead of the next election cycle.
Among those present at the meeting were former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, alongside several lawmakers and party stakeholders.
Speaking during the visit, Ogene said the caucus came to reassure the party leadership of its loyalty and dedication to the NDC’s ideals.
“We are here to reaffirm our commitment to serving Nigerians in line with the values and vision of our party,” he said.
He stressed that the caucus would continue to challenge the government and demand better governance for Nigerians.
“Our duty is to ensure the government remains accountable to the people and delivers the dividends of democracy Nigerians deserve,” Ogene added.
The lawmaker also described the NDC as the leading opposition force in the House of Representatives, noting that the party’s growing presence in parliament would strengthen its voice nationally and beyond.
According to him, the caucus remains loyal not only to the party but also to the Nigerian people.
Responding, Kwankwaso praised the lawmakers for standing by the party, describing loyalty as a rare quality in Nigerian politics.
“We appreciate your commitment and support. Together, we will continue to work towards the change Nigerians are hoping for in 2027,” he said.
Kwankwaso also urged Nigerians to register with the NDC and ensure they obtained their voter cards ahead of the elections.
He further encouraged party members to return to their constituencies and mobilise support, especially among young people and grassroots supporters.
