He further disclosed that PANDEF has already held discussions with several political parties and their leaders as part of its broader consultation process.

Ambassador Igali also congratulated the National Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, members of the National Working Committee, and party supporters across the country for their commitment to strengthening democratic participation and building the party.
“We came to pay a courtesy call on His Excellency, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, the National Leader of the NDC, first to congratulate him as a son of the Niger Delta for having the courage to come up with a national movement, and also to discuss the activities of the party.
“PANDEF is engaging with leaders of various political parties on issues pertaining to the Niger Delta and the country at large. We had a very fruitful discussion, and we appreciate the fact that the NDC has become a leading national movement and perhaps the party of choice for many Nigerians today.
“We have met with a number of other party leaders; some have come to see us, while we have visited others. We will continue to make our contributions toward making Nigeria a better place.
“Once again, we congratulate His Excellency, Senator Dickson. We also congratulate the Chairman of the party, the national leadership, and the teeming members and supporters of the NDC from across the country. We wish them all the very best in the evolving democratic dispensation.”
