The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday 13 May 2026 received a delegation of House of Representatives members who recently defected to the party, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen its ranks ahead of future political engagements.
The decamped lawmakers paid a courtesy visit to the NDC leadership to reaffirm their commitment to the party with prominent figures, including former Kano State Governor Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Peter Obi, joining the proceedings at different times.
In his remarks, the NDC leader Senator Seriake Dickson commended the lawmakers for their loyalty in aligning with their leader and joining the NDC.
While describing their move as being on the right path, he stressed that the party remains focused on building a united and democratic Nigeria.
Senator Dickson urged the new members to continue defending the democratic rights of Nigerians and to resist any attempts to impose a one-party state.
The leader also charged them to maintain close collaboration with their constituents while working in the interest of the people.
He called on other well-meaning Nigerians to continue backing the NDC, noting that the party is not financed by any single individual or government but sustained through the sacrifices and commitments of its members and supporters who share its vision for a better Nigeria.
In a related development, the NDC also formally received Senator Col. Amos Bulus (Rtd), a former member of the Federal House of Representative from Gombe State, and his team who defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Similarly, Prince Yahaya Audu led a delegation from Kogi State into the party fold.
