The leadership of the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) has continued its nationwide political consultations, hosting a series of high-level meetings with stakeholders and defecting politicians as part of efforts to strengthen the party’s structure and expand its reach.

In a statement issued on Monday, the party leadership disclosed that it first convened a strategic meeting with National Vice Chairmen and members of the National Working Committee to review progress and reinforce internal frameworks ahead of future political activities.

A major highlight of the engagements was the reception of Pastor Dr. (Mrs.) Adedayo Ekong, former Chairman of the Labour Party in Lagos State, who was subsequently appointed as a National Vice Chairman of the NDC. The leadership commended her contributions to her former party and expressed confidence in her capacity to further strengthen the NDC.

The party reiterated its commitment to inclusivity, noting that deliberate steps are being taken to increase the participation of women in its structures. It also encouraged more women and youths to actively engage in politics and contest elective positions under its platform.

In a related development, a delegation of leaders and chairmen from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the North East declared interest in joining the NDC. The party leadership welcomed the move and directed that necessary steps be taken to harmonise structures for seamless integration.

Similarly, several Local Government Chairmen and Caretaker Committee members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Delta State were received into the party. They were welcomed alongside key NDC officials from the South-South region, with assurances that proper integration processes would be carried out.

The NDC also acknowledged the support of its diaspora network, receiving Comrade Barile Ngobu of the NDC USA Chapter, whose efforts in mobilising international backing for the party were commended.

Earlier engagements included a meeting with stakeholders and supporters from Kogi State, who pledged their support for the party and for Pharm. Emmanuel Adejo Amodu, an aspirant for the Federal House of Representatives.

The party leadership called on Nigerians to join the movement, register in large numbers, and actively participate in building a strong opposition capable of reshaping the country’s political landscape and preventing the emergence of a one-party system.
