The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has lauded Senator Henry Seriake Dickson for his role in the establishment and growth of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), describing the party as one of the country's fastest-growing political movements with increasing national appeal.

The commendation was made during a courtesy visit by a PANDEF delegation led by its National Chairman, Ambassador Dr. Boladei Igali, to Senator Dickson, the National Leader of the NDC, at his residence in Abuja.

Speaking during the visit, Ambassador Igali congratulated Senator Dickson on what he described as a bold and visionary effort in building a political platform that is attracting support from Nigerians across different regions of the country.

According to him, the emergence of the NDC has contributed positively to Nigeria’s democratic space by providing an alternative platform that continues to gain traction among citizens seeking effective leadership and national development.

The PANDEF Chairman noted that the forum views the NDC as an emerging national force whose growing acceptance reflects the desire of many Nigerians for greater political participation and inclusive governance.

He explained that the visit formed part of PANDEF’s ongoing consultations with political parties and key stakeholders nationwide as the organization continues to advocate for the interests of the Niger Delta while promoting national unity and development.

Igali stated that PANDEF has engaged several political leaders and organizations across the country and remains committed to constructive dialogue aimed at addressing critical national issues, fostering peace, and advancing equitable development.

He emphasized the need for stronger collaboration among political institutions, regional bodies, and other stakeholders in tackling the challenges confronting the nation and improving the welfare of citizens.

The PANDEF leader also extended congratulations to the National Chairman of the NDC, members of the National Working Committee, and party supporters across the country for their commitment to strengthening democratic governance.

He described discussions with Senator Dickson as productive and reaffirmed PANDEF’s readiness to continue engaging political actors in pursuit of policies and initiatives that promote national progress and stability.

The visit further highlighted PANDEF’s commitment to sustained engagement with political leaders and institutions while advocating for the development of the Niger Delta and the advancement of Nigeria’s democratic process.

Members of the PANDEF delegation included Deputy National Chairman, Hon. Bassey Nyong Ekefre, and National Treasurer, Mrs. Ifeoma Onyeoma Agbomah.
