The National Democratic Coalition (NDC) has announced a delay in the unveiling of its much-anticipated campaign council, attributing the postponement to ongoing disputes over leadership nominations within the party. The decision comes in the wake of the NDC granting Peter Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, the authority to select leaders for the council, highlighting a significant shift in party dynamics.

Recently, the NDC faced controversy after the OK Movement publicly revealed a campaign council that was subsequently disowned by the party, prompting further scrutiny of internal party processes. The leadership conflicts have raised questions about the party's unity and strategic direction as it prepares for the upcoming elections.

In a statement, the NDC emphasized the importance of collaboration and consensus-building in finalizing the campaign council's composition, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity amid rising tensions. As the party strives to mend rifts and solidify its campaign framework, observers are keenly watching how these developments will impact its electoral strategy and voter engagement.

“We believe that a united front is essential for our success in the forthcoming elections, and we are working diligently to ensure that all voices within the party are heard,” an NDC spokesperson stated.

While the postponement may cause some concern among supporters, party leaders are optimistic that a well-structured campaign council will enhance the NDC's prospects and resonate with the electorate as the political landscape evolves.
