Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), says its national leader, Seriake Dickson, is not working with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to sabotage the NDC’s 2027 presidential efforts. The party rejects claims of any “secret” or “open” deal that would position Dickson as an APC proxy.
Both outlets report the NDC’s response as categorical, stating Dickson will not betray its interests or its presidential candidate(s), including Peter Obi and Kwankwaso. The NDC frames the allegations as unfounded and denies that Dickson is seeking to undermine the party’s campaign.
While the two sources emphasize the same denial, they differ slightly in wording and tone: one describes the alleged arrangement as a “secret deal,” while the other focuses on Dickson “won’t betray” Obi and Kwankwaso. Neither outlet presents new evidence or details of the original accusations, instead concentrating on the NDC’s rebuttal and clarification of Dickson’s role within the party.
