Members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus in the House of Representatives have reaffirmed their loyalty to the party and pledged to intensify efforts to hold the Federal Government accountable ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The lawmakers, led by the House Minority Leader, Victor Afam Ogene, made the commitment on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the National Leader of the NDC, Seriake Dickson, at his Abuja residence.

Members of the delegation included George Ozodinobi, Okey-Joe Onuakalusi, Lillian Orogbu, Atta Achief, Chijioke Okereke, Peter Ozokwe, Murphy Omoruyi, Emeka Idu, Manuchim Omezuruike, Muktar Zakari, Yusuf Datti, Peter Aniekwe, and Uchenna Okonkwo.

Also present at the meeting were former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, alongside other party leaders.

Speaking on behalf of the caucus, Ogene said the lawmakers visited to reaffirm their commitment to the ideals of the party and to strengthen opposition politics in the legislature.

He said the caucus would remain focused on holding the government accountable, insisting that Nigerians must benefit from the dividends of democracy.

“In rendering this service, we will hold the government of the day accountable to the people so that they would receive the basic necessities associated with democracy and civil rule,” he said.

Ogene described the NDC as the major opposition force in the House of Representatives, adding that its growing membership would strengthen its influence both nationally and internationally.

“We are now the major opposition party in Parliament, especially the House of Representatives. With this number, our voice will be strengthened and heard across Nigeria and beyond,” he said.

He also pledged loyalty to the party leadership and the Nigerian people.

“We assure you of our commitment, we assure you of our loyalty to the party, and we assure you of our loyalty to the Nigerian people,” Ogene added.

In his response, Kwankwaso commended the caucus for its loyalty, describing it as a rare quality in Nigerian politics.

He urged members to remain committed to the party’s vision while mobilising support ahead of the 2027 elections.

“We appreciate you, and we want to assure you on behalf of the leadership that we will continue to carry you along so that together we can succeed,” he said.

Kwankwaso also called on Nigerians to participate actively in the electoral process by registering and obtaining their voter cards, noting that grassroots mobilisation would be key to the party’s success in 2027.
