NDC Reschedules National Campaign Council Inauguration to October 26

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has rescheduled the unveiling and inauguration of its National Campaign Council, moving the event from Tuesday, October 20, to Monday, October 26, 2026.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, announced the change in a statement. He said the new date was necessary because of the tight schedule of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who is expected to attend an important engagement overseas.

The NDC apologised for any inconvenience caused by the postponement and urged party members, supporters and other stakeholders to remain focused on its campaign objectives.

The statement said the party’s goal was to secure victory for Obi and all NDC candidates in the forthcoming presidential and general elections. It concluded with the party’s slogan: “A New Nigeria is POssible.”

The National Campaign Council is expected to play a central role in coordinating the party’s campaign activities ahead of the 2027 elections. Its inauguration will formally bring together those tasked with organising and supporting the NDC’s efforts to reach voters nationwide.

The party had initially scheduled the ceremony for October 20, but did not provide further details about the overseas engagement that prompted the change. The revised date gives the party six additional days to prepare for the event.

The announcement comes as political parties begin making preparations for the 2027 general elections. The NDC has called on its supporters not to be distracted by the revised schedule and to continue working toward its electoral ambitions.
