A former Governor of Bayelsa State and Senator representing Bayelsa West, Seriake Dickson, has lamented the country’s economic situation.
Speaking in Abuja during the unveiling of the digital membership registration portal of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), the lawmaker stated that many Nigerians are angry with the incumbent administration.
The national leader of the party led the unveiling ceremony alongside NDC National Chairman, Senator Cleopas Moses; the National Secretary, Ikenna Morgan Enekweizu, as well as some state chairmen and other party leaders and stakeholders.
Commenting on the current political climate in the country, Dickson said, “Nigerians are angry with the status quo. Nigerians are not only angry, they are also hungry, and they are hungry for change. The NDC is available as the tool for effecting the change Nigerians want.”
The senator further described the party as a fresh and crisis-free political movement focused on ideological politics and national development.
Drawing a biblical analogy, the former Bayelsa governor likened the emergence of the NDC to the story of Noah’s Ark, urging Nigerians seeking genuine political change to align with the new platform.
“The NDC in Nigeria of today, politically, is like Noah’s family. Those who can see the signs should come on board early,” he urged.
On the e-membership registration exercise, the lawmaker said the introduction of the digital platform represents a significant move to modernise the party’s operations and encourage wider political participation among Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora.
