The National Vice Chairman, North Central of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Barnabas J. Ejisi, has described the newly formed party as a “political ambulance” ready to rescue Nigerians who have been abandoned by other political parties.
Ejisi made the remark the stakeholders’ interactive meeting held at Tazu Luxury Hotel in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital. Speaking at the event, the NDC chieftain said the party was established at the right time to accommodate aggrieved politicians and Nigerians seeking purposeful leadership ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“An ambulance is what is used to convey casualties. We have a lot of political casualties on the ground and by the arrival of NDC, you can see the casualties that the ambulance is already conveying all those dead parties, wounded, dejected and thrown overboard. We are here to rescue such parties,” he said.
He praised the leadership of former Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Seriake Dickson, describing him as a visionary leader who foresaw the current political realities in the country.
According to the North Central Vice Chairman, NDC stands for service and dignity as reflected in its slogan and mission to serve Nigerians rather than seek power for selfish interests.“NDC is about service. That is why our slogan is not power, it is service,” he stated.
