Members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) caucus in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, reaffirmed their loyalty to the party and pledged to hold the Federal Government accountable as the opposition bloc positions itself ahead of future elections.
The lawmakers, including prominent figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) leader Rabiu Kwankwaso, met to strategize on legislative oversight and opposition unity. The NDC, formed in 2025, aims to consolidate opposition forces in Nigeria.
During the meeting, the caucus emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in governance, vowing to scrutinize executive actions and policies. They also discussed plans to engage with civil society and the media to amplify their oversight role.
The NDC's move comes amid growing political tensions in Nigeria, with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) facing criticism over economic management and security challenges. The opposition bloc seeks to present a united front in the 2027 general elections.
