NDC Plans For Victory Ahead Of Presidential, NASS, State Polls
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has begun to strategise for victory for its candidates for Presidential, National Assembly, State governorship and National Assembly elections in January.
The leadership NDC, Anambra chapter made the resolution at a meeting with leaders of political support groups mobilising around the Peter Obi-Rabiu Kwankwaso presidential project in Awka on Friday.
Mr Ikem Uzoezie, the Chairman of NDC in Anambra said the party would pursue victory across all contested positions.
Uzoezie said the growing popularity of the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket had convinced the party that it could dislodge the country’s established political forces in the 2027 elections.
Uzoezie said the party was not limiting its ambitions to the presidency and that the victory would mark a fundamental shift in Nigeria’s political trajectory.
“Politics is all about winning, and by God’s grace, coupled with the massive support base we are receiving from groups like yours and ordinary Nigerians, 2027 is already assured for the NDC.
“Our winning will be from top to bottom, the presidency, the Senate, House of Representatives, governorships and State Houses of Assembly.
“NDC victory will change the narrative and direction of this country,” Uzoezie said.
The chairman also urged Nigerians to join the party while promising an open political platform for those willing to participate in the emerging coalition.
He particularly called for stronger grassroots involvement as political mobilisation for 2027 intensifies.
The meeting’s Coordinator, Chief Fidel Okafor, said the coalition was working to bring the various support groups into a single, coordinated structure.
According to him, the objective was to eliminate overlapping activities among the groups and develop a unified mobilisation network capable of delivering votes on election day.
Prof. Pat Obi, leader of the Associates of Peter Obi and the Obidient Movement in Anambra, said the coalition could not afford to rely solely on online popularity.
He urged supporters to establish functional structures at the ward and polling-unit levels and to work closely with NDC leaders in their localities.
Obi also challenged supporters to defend Peter Obi’s political stronghold in Anambra.
“They have been boasting that they will defeat Obi in his home state but we will rise to the occasion by mobilising our members massively to ensure that Anambra repays Obi for his legacy as governor of the state,” he said.
Also speaking, the Coordinator of the Obidient Movement in Anambra, Mr Charles Anueyiagu, appealed to the various support groups to unite behind the coalition’s broader objective.
He warned against allowing individual interests to undermine the mobilisation effort, stressing that unity would be critical to converting political enthusiasm into actual votes.
The NDC has placed an ambitious benchmark for itself ahead of 2027 but the ability to transform support for the Obi-Kwankwaso project into organised, nationwide electoral strength remains the central test.
