The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has continued its political expansion ahead of the 2027 general elections as prominent politicians from across the country formally joined the party at a well-attended reception held in Abuja.
The National Leader of the party, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, and the National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, alongside members of the National Working Committee, Saturday, received the new entrants in what party leaders described as a growing wave of confidence in the NDC nationwide.
Among those who formally joined the party were former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Comrade Babatunde Alli; NNPP governorship candidate in the 2023 election in Taraba State, Prof. Mohammed Sani Yahaya; and former member of the House of Representatives and ex-board member of the Code of Conduct Bureau, Hon. Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma, all of whom joined with thousands of their supporters and political structure.
A key highlight of the event was the formal decoration of the new entrants with the NDC fez caps and the presentation of official membership cards, symbolising their full integration into the party.
Senator Dickson, while welcoming the new members, said their decision to join the NDC reflects growing confidence in the party’s vision for national renewal and inclusive governance.
The National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, also urged the new entrants to uphold the party’s core values and work within its structures to strengthen internal cohesion and national reach.
Speaking at the event, Comrade Babatunde F. Alli said his resignation from the PRP followed deep reflection on internal party dynamics.
“Every political party in this country needs inclusivity, youth participation, and fair processes. When those principles are weakened, it becomes difficult for some of us to remain. The emergence of the NDC has given me renewed hope that politics can be done differently, with fairness and purpose,” he stated.
Prof. Mohammed Sani Yahaya, who was the NNPP governorship candidate in Taraba State in 2023, declared full support for the party from the grassroots level.
“From the polling unit, ward, local government, and state level, we are joining the NDC in total. We have built a foundation already; what remains is to complete the structure, and that structure is the NDC. Insha’Allah, 2027 is our time, and we are fully committed to taking the message of the NDC to Taraba State,” the former guber candidate declared.
In his remarks, Hon. Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma expressed concern over the state of the nation, while affirming confidence in the NDC as a credible alternative.
He said, “Nigeria is bleeding and searching for direction. What we were promised as ‘Renewed Hope’ has, for many Nigerians, turned into renewed hopelessness. Our country is blessed, yet badly managed. We must confront corruption and rebuild trust in governance. I believe the NDC offers a platform for that renewal and for restoring hope to Nigerians.”
The event marks another significant milestone for the NDC as it continues to attract high-profile political actors and strengthen its national structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
