Sen. Dickson also used the occasion to reiterate the party’s commitment to strengthening its structures nationwide.
He noted that the NDC had overcome significant challenges since its formation, including securing registration, conducting voter registration exercises, organising congresses and completing its primary elections within a short period.
He made the remarks during a pre-National Executive Committee (NEC) gathering held ahead of the party’s formal NEC meeting, scheduled for the NDC national secretariat.
The former Bayelsa State governor expressed appreciation to state chairmen and members of the National Working Committee for their commitment and sacrifices, urging them to sustain the momentum as the party prepares for the next phase of its activities.
The development is expected to bolster the NDC’s preparations in Delta State, where the party is positioning itself for a competitive outing in the forthcoming governorship election.
