Monday, September 14, 2026 -The National Leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has insisted that no one can stop the party from participating in the 2027 general elections, despite what it described as repeated attacks on its members.
The party made the declaration in a statement issued late
Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, while reacting to an
alleged attack on its members during a peaceful grassroots meeting in Obuoffia
Ward, Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State.
The NDC condemned the incident, describing it as an
unprovoked attack, and said intimidation would not stop its political
activities.
“No one can prevent the NDC from exercising its right to
democratic participation in the 2027 general elections,” the statement said.
It also alleged that its members had faced similar attacks
in other parts of the South-East, including Imo State, and blamed security
agencies for failing to respond effectively to such incidents.
The NDC further accused the All Progressives Congress (APC)
in Enugu of being unsettled by the party’s growing support, although it did not
provide evidence for the claim.
According to the party, the alleged attacks would only
strengthen its resolve to mobilise supporters across the country.
“If the goal of those sponsoring these attacks is to instill
fear in the hearts of the people, they have failed woefully. This cowardly act
will only strengthen our resolve to canvass and mobilise for the party and its
candidates,” the statement said.
The party called on security agencies to immediately
investigate the alleged attack in Enugu and bring those responsible, as well as
their alleged sponsors, to justice.
