Obi, Kwankwaso, Others Storm Abuja For NDC National Convention

The leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), including Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and others, is currently in Abuja for the national convention of the party.

The convention is expected to rectify some of the recent decisions of the national executive committee of the NDC.

According to the agenda made available to journalists, some of the issues on the table for discussion and resolution are zoning, ratification of the amended party constitution, and the election of national executives of the party

The NDC recently witnessed an influx of politicians who defected from other political parties, including the ADC and the PDP.

On Tuesday, no fewer than 17 members of the House of Representatives defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to NDC.

Their defections were announced on the floor of the House during plenary.

Lawmakers who defected to the NDC include Yusuf Datti, Uchenna Okonkwo, Adamu Wakili, Thaddeus Attah, George Ozodinobi, Lilian Orogbu, Oluwaseyi Sowunmi, Peter Aniekwe, Mukhtar Zakari, George Oluwande, and Munachim Umezuruike.

Others are Emeka Idu, Jesse Onuakalusi, Ifeanyi Uzokwe, Afam Ogene, Murphy Omoruyi, and Abdulhakeem Ado.

 

The defections of the lawmakers to the NDC came two days after Obi and Kwankwaso formally joined the party from the ADC.

Obi, who was the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), and Kwankwaso, a former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), received the NDC membership cards last Sunday amid cheers from supporters, shortly after a closed-door meeting with leaders of the NDC.
