Obika’s Supporters Protest at NDC Secretariat Over Delay in Primary Results

Supporters of a House of Representatives aspirant for the AMAC–Bwari Federal Constituency in the FCT, Joshua Chinedu Obika, on Monday staged a protest at the national secretariat of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), demanding the immediate release of the party’s primary election results held over the weekend in Abuja.

The protesters, drawn from the AMAC–Bwari constituency, called on the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to urgently announce the outcome of the primaries, expressing concern over the delay.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Umar Rais said they were confident that the party leadership would act in the best interest of the NDC and its chances ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He urged the NEC to ensure transparency and fairness in the handling of the electoral process, stressing the need to strengthen internal democracy within the party.

Obika, who is currently contesting under the NDC platform, was previously reported to have moved from the Labour Party to the All Progressives Congress (APC) before joining the newly formed political party ahead of the 2027 elections.
