PRESS STATEMENT
SENATOR SERIAKE DICKSON’s ARISE NEWS TV INTERVIEW :
The Obidient Ninjas have taken note of the remarks made during
@iamHSDickson H.E Senator Seriake Dickson’s recent Arise TV interview, where past political collaboration was framed in heavily personal terms. The emphasis on “I,” “me,” and “my” presented a one‑sided narrative that does not reflect the mutual nature of earlier political engagements involving multiple actors and constituencies.
In addition, the recent appointment of a communications figure known for adversarial comments toward H.E Peter Obi
@PeterObi and the wider Obidient community has raised concerns about the party’s messaging direction. These decisions taken together, suggest a shift toward singular, personality‑driven communication laced with score-settling tendencies rather than inclusive, coalition‑oriented engagement.
Going forward, we believe the party would benefit from operating with mutual respect, particularly toward constituencies that have contributed significantly to national political discourse and to the party’s recent meteoric rise. Undermining a major support base of the party risks creating avoidable fractures at a time when unity and clarity are essential.
A more constructive approach would involve adopting language that reflects shared responsibility; “we,” “us,” and “our” while promoting the party’s vision for our country, centering the party’s ticket and presidential candidate, while fostering an environment where all stakeholders feel acknowledged rather than sidelined. This automatically strengthens internal cohesion and signals a positively formidable posturing to our detractors; while avoiding unnecessary salacious headlines.
We therefore recommend the party shifts its focus towards organizational readiness from PVC mobilization campaigns to grassroots outreaches, etc. It is time to get down to brass tacks. We are indeed one family now, this is a seminal moment and we have a monumental election to win.
Long live the NDC✌🏾
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
-A new Nigeria 🇳🇬 is ever more POssible.
Tudo Bams
For the Obidient Ninjas.
