The statement added that the party’s National Secretary, Barrister Ikenna Morgan Enekweizu, will serve as Council Secretary, while Mallam Ibrahim Hussain Abdulkarim was appointed Director-General of the campaign council.
The NDC said the council would provide strategic leadership, coordinate campaign activities across the country and mobilise Nigerians behind what it described as its vision of building “a new, just, and prosperous Nigeria.”

Calling for unity among its members and supporters, the NDC said, “We call on all party members, supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians to remain united and focused as we work together to rescue our country.”
It added, “A new and working Nigeria is possible.”
The announcement comes as political parties continue to strengthen their structures and prepare campaign strategies ahead of the 2027 general elections, with alliances, mobilisation and policy debates expected to dominate the political landscape in the months ahead.
