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.
