The former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson , on Wednesday urged ” dissatisfied members” of other political parties in the country to join the National Leader of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dickson, who represents Bayelsa West Senatorial District, made the call while speaking with journalists after the party’s inaugural National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja.
The former governor, who described NDC as a platform built on clarity, inclusiveness and purpose, said individuals who felt “stranded” within their current political affiliations should consider aligning with the party.
According to him, the NDC offers a fresh direction for those who believe their existing parties have lost focus or failed to meet expectations.
“For those uncertain about leadership or direction, we offer clarity, stability and purpose. This is your party,” he stated.
Dickson added that the NDC had a well-defined vision for governance and national development.
He assured prospective members that there was no ambiguity about the party’s mission and commitment to the Nigerian people.
Responding to concerns that welcoming dissatisfied politicians from other parties could lead to internal tensions, the NDC leader dismissed the notion and maintained that the party’s ideological foundation and structured framework would prevent such challenges.
“We are an ideological party. While everyone is welcome, we have clear principles and structures in place to manage our growth and maintain our values,” he concluded.
