Peter Obi’s Aide Urges NDC to Clarify Party Logo Ahead of 2027 Elections
An aide to the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Esther Umoh, has urged the party’s leadership to urgently clarify its official logo before the 2027 general elections.
Umoh warned that the ongoing confusion over the emblem is creating uncertainty among supporters and candidates, with less than five months remaining until the polls.
She said the lack of a clear, approved logo has left party members unsure which symbol to use on campaign materials, a situation that could harm the NDC’s cohesion, visibility and overall preparedness.
“You have repeatedly stated that the party’s supreme leader (Dickson) is an experienced politician. I therefore believe he fully understands the electoral and political implications of allowing this uncertainty to persist,” Umoh remarked.
She called on the NDC to issue an official communiqué to all state chapters and relevant stakeholders, clearly identifying the logo endorsed by the Independent National Electoral Commission and providing uniform guidelines for its use.
Umoh stressed that the party cannot afford conflicting messages at such a critical stage of the election cycle.
“At this critical stage, the party cannot afford avoidable confusion or mixed messaging. We are working toward victory, and every decision, including clarity around the party’s identity and campaign materials, must reflect that commitment,” she added.
She also expressed concern over the delay in resolving the issue, saying she hoped it was not a sign that the party was unprepared or inadvertently weakening its electoral chances.
“I sincerely hope the delay is not a sign that the party is unprepared or intentionally trying to sabotage our chances at winning. The NDC must act decisively to protect and strengthen its chances at the polls,” Umoh concluded.
