Dickson is now a punching bag because Peter Obi refused to be Atiku’s running mate, NDC says

Theo Abu Agada, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) director of new media and strategic communications, says party leader Seriake Dickson is being targeted ahead of the 2027 presidential election. He alleges the attacks stem from Peter Obi, the NDC’s presidential candidate, refusing to become running mate to ADC candidate Atiku Abubakar. Agada was responding to an X user who accused Dickson and NDC vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso of acting as contractors for the ruling APC. He promised a formal statement and said the party was focused on winning.
