Dickson hails INEC, judiciary as NDC logo is uploaded

THE National Leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress,  NDC,  Senator Seriake Dickson has  congratulated the party’s leadership and Nigerians after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) uploaded the party’s preferred and approved logo.

In a statement posted on Facebook yesterday,   the former Bayelsa State governor  said the logo was uploaded by INEC in compliance with a High Court order, as provided for in the party’s constitution and ratified by its National Executive Committee (NEC).

The Senator representing Bayelsa West hailed the  Judiciary, INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, and members of the INEC team for complying with the court judgment.

He also thanked the NDC’s National Chairman, Senator Moses Cleopas, and NEC members for their hard work, just as he commended the understanding of the party’s candidates and members, adding that  with the approved logo now uploaded, candidates could print campaign materials and continue their consultations and campaigns “with certainty”.

He assured Nigerians and NDC candidates that the party was committed to seeing the matter through to the end.

Dickson’s post read, “Congratulations to the entire leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and to all Nigerians, as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has uploaded our preferred and approved party logo, in compliance with the order of the High Court, as provided for in our Constitution and ratified by the National Executive Committee (NEC).

“I thank the Nigerian Judiciary and the INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, and all members of the INEC team for complying with the court judgment.

“I thank the National Chairman of our great party, Senator Moses Cleopas, and the members of the NEC for their hard work. I also commend the understanding of all our candidates and members of the party.

“Our approved logo has now been uploaded, and candidates can print campaign materials and continue their consultations and campaigns with certainty.

“We assure all Nigerians and our candidates that we are committed to seeing this through to the end. We are fighters, and we will fight until the end. We have resisted those who sought to use the judiciary against the party, and they have failed.

“We must now join hands and ensure that all candidates campaign and take their message freely to every part of Nigeria without intimidation. I call on all candidates to work with the party at all levels in the composition of their campaign teams as they are not independent candidates and AVOID SELF-SABOTAGE

“We must together join hands to fight against propaganda and misinformation from people who seek to undermine the party and our candidates and create division with childish rumours.

“The NDC is a product of vision, selfless dedication, and commitment to democratic ideals. We are prepared to fight to uphold the democratic rights of Nigerians and to ensure that multi-party democracy thrives. NDC all the way.”
