NDC reschedules inauguration of national campaign council to October 26

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has postponed the unveiling and inauguration of its National Campaign Council (NCC) from Tuesday, October 20, to Monday, October 26, 2026.

The National Publicity Secretary of the NDC, Osa Director, Esq., announced the postponement in a statement issued on Monday, October 19, 2026.

According to the statement, the party leadership apologised for any inconvenience caused by the change of date and urged members and supporters to remain focused on its electoral objectives.
