NDC Strengthens Grassroots Mobilisation in Southern Ijaw Ahead of 2027 Elections

The National Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Moses Cleopas Zuwoghé, has called for greater party unity, discipline and grassroots mobilisation in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa State ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Zuwoghé made the call on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, during a strategic meeting with the party's Southern Ijaw leadership at the Headquarters Secretariat Complex of His Will Political Family Worldwide in Yenagoa. The meeting brought together members of the LGA Executive Committee, ward executives from all 17 wards, four House of Assembly candidates and the party's House of Representatives candidate for Southern Ijaw Federal Constituency. Discussions focused on strengthening internal party structures, improving grassroots coordination and building a united political platform ahead of the elections.

The NDC chairman emphasised that the party's electoral prospects would largely depend on the strength and effectiveness of its ward-level structures. He urged party executives and stakeholders to remain active, organised and committed to advancing the party's objectives while taking its message of good governance, justice and people-centred leadership to communities across the local government.

He further noted that achieving the party's political ambitions in 2027 would require dedication, sacrifice, teamwork and collective responsibility from members. Zuwoghé expressed confidence that sustained cooperation among party leaders and candidates would help establish a formidable political presence in Southern Ijaw and across Bayelsa State.
