National leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Seriake Dickson, says the party will not merge into the G-100 opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections. He states that the NDC will contest the polls under its own banner, while also indicating openness to support and collaboration from other parties and candidates.
Dickson makes the remarks during an interview on Arise Television’s “Prime Time” on Wednesday. While he acknowledges the G-100 coalition’s efforts and describes its members as “great Nigerians,” he argues that the NDC maintains a “vibrant and balanced” presidential ticket. He also says the NDC presidential candidate engages with other political groups, including attending a recent rally of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), as part of broader opposition outreach.
Across the reports, the emphasis is consistent: Dickson draws a distinction between merging into a coalition and working with other groups, insisting the NDC keeps its identity while seeking cooperation where possible.
