Bayelsa West Senator, Henry Seriake Dickson, has described former presidential candidates, Peter Obi and Rabi’u Kwankwaso, as the biggest political brands.

Dickson said this on Sunday when he received the duo into the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The former Bayelsa State governor also described the political heavyweights’ presence as a defining moment for the fast-rising political movement.

According to him, the duo’s influence was evident in the massive enthusiasm that trailed their appearance, even without formal mobilisation.

“Your Excellencies and members of your entourage, I welcome you—even though you did not come with a crowd. But you are both the personification of a crowd, and the crowd has followed you here,” he said

He used the occasion to position the NDC as a credible alternative in Nigeria’s political landscape, emphasising its rapid growth and internal cohesion.

These duo have just handed Tinubu a cheap victory! For Atiku to let these guys go, that man knows nothing about politics.

Obi will still lose in 2027, but it will help other aspirants , senate,reps, house member or even Govs to defeat some unpopular imposed candidate in APC.

This will even make APC to rethink about their imposition power they handover to Govs.

Anywhere where APC tries to field unpopular candidate, they are doing that to help NDC, but unfortunately, NDC winners will still end in APC post 2027.

NDC. Nigerian Delusional Congress. The NDC is populated by delusional elements who, Obi-dented, think they are OK! They will wake up in some time! Wish we had an alternative to Tinubu who, though fumbling, appears certain to defeat the opposition in 2027. Tinubu, having failed on his promise to fix power is unelectable in 2027.

2007 Atiku ran- and lost.
2011 Atiku ran- and lost.
2015 Atiku ran- and lost.
2019 Atiku ran- and lost.
2023 Atiku ran- and lost.
2027 Atiku wants to run- and lose.

He doesn’t care whether it’s the turn of the north or the south, he must run. This desperate foolishness and selfishness really needs to end.

In 2015, his desperate foolishness is a huge part of why this satanic APC happened. If he stayed with GEJ, maybe APC wouldn’t have won and GEJ may have done a second term and then supported him to be president in 2019. But then again, desperate foolishness at play.

In 2023, it was the turn of the South. His desperate foolishness again at play, is why that incompetent fool, Tinubu happened.

This is 2027, it is still the turn of the South, but his desperate foolishness has consumed him, he will run, he will ruin himself and everyone else in the opposition.

And when he does this,
Tinubu will then likely return not because he deserves to but because we have a perpetually selfish politician who has had no commonsense in 20 years to put the country first and think beyond himself.

Even his own son, as I type this, is currently in APC working for Tinubu. Even his own son can see that his father’s desperate foolishness and selfishness for 20years needs to end.
