We are ready to serve,\u201d Oyindoubra said.<\/p>\n<p>A major highlight of the event was the strong endorsement of the party\u2019s direction by Ken Pela, a former governorship aspirant who recently joined the NDC from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).<\/p>\n<p>Pela described the NDC as a platform built on clear vision and purposeful leadership, adding that the party represents a shift from conventional politics.<\/p>\n<p>He commended the role of the party\u2019s national leadership, including Seriake Dickson, in sustaining the organisation and giving it direction.<\/p>\n<p>The former aspirant also cited the recent involvement of Peter Obi as a sign of growing confidence in the party and a broader realignment in Nigeria\u2019s political landscape.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not about occupying positions. It is about redefining leadership and building a system that works for the people,\u201d Pela said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the party is committed to promoting accountability, unity, and inclusive development across Delta State.<\/p>\n<p>The congress also saw the formal inauguration of a new executive team tasked with driving the party\u2019s activities at the state level, as part of efforts to expand its grassroots presence.<\/p>\n<p>Party officials said the exercise is a key step in preparing the NDC for upcoming political engagements, with a focus on strengthening internal cohesion and increasing public support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By David Owei Leaders of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) have outlined plans to reposition the party as a credible alternative in Delta State, following the inauguration of new executives at its state congress held in Asaba.
