The leadership of the United Kingdom Chapter of the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) has reaffirmed its commitment to the growth and development of the party.
The reaffirmation came after a high-level meeting with the party’s National Leader, Senator Seriake Dickson, in London.
The NDC-UK Executive Committee paid a courtesy visit to Dickson at the London Park Lane Hilton Hotel on Saturday. The meeting brought together members of the chapter and representatives of the Nigerian community across Great Britain and Ireland.
According to a statement on Sunday by the Publicity Secretary of NDC-UK, Boniokoye Imegwu, the meeting provided an opportunity for Dickson to brief party members and supporters on developments within the party, its progress since formation, and preparations for the forthcoming general election.
Dickson was in London on his return to Nigeria from the Netherlands, where he had inaugurated the NDC Netherlands Chapter.
During the interaction, Dickson expressed confidence in the party’s leadership and presidential ticket. He also urged institutions and officials responsible for conducting elections to uphold integrity, fairness, responsibility and patriotism.
The NDC-UK Country Chairman, Princewill Urum, thanked Dickson for his leadership and reaffirmed the chapter’s commitment to advancing the objectives and programmes of the party.
Also present was the leader of the Coalition for the Protection of Democracy (COPDEM), a Nigerian and global political network, who commended the direction and progress of the NDC and pledged to deploy resources and personnel to support credible elections and democratic participation in Nigeria.
