The NDC National Leader noted that the party’s activities in the state were progressing well, particularly in terms of the registration of new members, the establishment of party offices across the state, and the commitment demonstrated by stakeholders.
“I commend the visiting aspirants, the state party officials, as well as national officers of the party who hail from the state for their efforts, and I urge them to intensify mobilisation across Kogi,” Dickson said.
The meeting also featured interactions with a group of young and enthusiastic party members, alongside aspirants for the House of Representatives from the Okene/Ogori-Magongo and Adavi/Okehi Federal Constituencies, who joined the delegation to demonstrate support for the party’s leadership.

“Together, we will build a strong, inclusive, and people-driven political movement that delivers real change for all Nigerians. We thank the good people of Kogi State for their confidence and belief in the ideology of the NDC,” he said.
Speaking on behalf of the visiting stakeholders, Hon.
