NDC to candidates: Shun violence, foul language

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), on Friday, instructed its presidential, governorship and National Assembly candidates for the 2027 general elections to maintain issue-focused and non-violent campaigns. In a statement released in Abuja, the party's National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, called on candidates to engage stakeholders and constituents in their areas while promoting the NDC's agenda.

Director emphasized that the NDC stands against any form of violence, ensuring that all electioneering activities are conducted peacefully. The party is expected to unveil its campaign organs and announce their inauguration on a date to be determined. In the meantime, the NDC has updated its logo in consultation with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), but some administrative details are being addressed before the new version can replace the existing one.

For now, candidates and members are advised to continue using the old logo until the replacement is finalized.
