NDC to Unveil Campaign Council and Financial Accounts on October 26

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) will hold its third National Executive Committee meeting on Monday, October 26, at 10 a.m. at JD Event Centre in Abuja. The gathering will take place at Kashim Ibrahim Way, opposite A-Class Park in Maitama.

A major highlight will be the unveiling of the party's National Campaign Council ahead of the 2027 general elections. The council will coordinate campaign activities across presidential, National Assembly, governorship and state Houses of Assembly contests.

“A major highlight of the meeting will be the release and presentation of the party's Statement of Account by the National Treasurer.”

The party will also present Certificates of Return to its candidates for various elective positions. National Publicity Secretary Osa Director announced the arrangements in a statement.

During the meeting, the National Treasurer will present the party's statement of account. The NDC described this step as part of its commitment to transparency and accountability in financial management.

The party challenged other political groups, especially the ruling All Progressives Congress, to make their financial records available for similar scrutiny. It said this move distinguishes its practices from those of other parties.

The NDC attributed its financial limitations partly to economic hardship in Nigeria. It stated that approximately 80 per cent of its candidates could not afford expression-of-interest form fees.

As a result, the party issued the forms to affected candidates free of charge to enable their participation in the electoral process. It blamed widespread poverty, hunger and deprivation on the APC-led federal government's economic policies.
