THE Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has postponed the unveiling and inauguration of its national campaign council for the forthcoming presidential election, moving the event from October 20 to October 26.
News Point Nigeria reports that the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, announced the postponement in a statement issued on Monday, explaining that the change was necessitated by the “tight schedule” of the NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who has an important overseas engagement.
