The [Nigeria Democratic Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria_Democratic_Congress) said it will disclose its financial statement and unveil its National Campaign Council during its third National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on Monday, 26 October, at the JD Event Centre in Abuja, positioning the move as a test of transparency for all political parties.
The agenda includes the presentation of the party’s Statement of Account by the National Treasurer, a step the party describes as a concrete demonstration of its commitment to openness and accountability.
**What will be presented?**
The meeting will feature the release of the audited Statement of Account, which the party claims reflects its adherence to fiscal probity. The National Treasurer will read the figures aloud and answer queries from delegates.
**Where and when is the meeting?**
According to the party’s notice, the session will commence at 10:00 a.m. at JD Event Centre, Kashim Ibrahim Way, opposite A‑Class Park, Maitama, Abuja. The venue was chosen for its capacity to accommodate NEC members and invited observers.
**Why challenge other parties?**
The statement explicitly calls on the [All Progressives Congress](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Progressives_Congress) and all other political formations to emulate the same level of openness. “In deference to our avowed commitment to the principles of transparency and accountability, we challenge other political parties, especially the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to emulate this level of openness and transparency in the management of their finances,” the document read.
**How does the NDC respond to speculation about its finances?**
The party refuted rumours that its resources are limited, explaining that about 80 % of its candidates could not afford the Expression of Interest forms due to widespread poverty and economic hardship attributed to the current administration’s policies. To mitigate the issue, the NDC distributed the forms free of charge to the affected aspirants.
**What does the unveiling of the council entail?**
The [National Campaign Council](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_campaign) will be introduced as the body overseeing campaign strategies for the presidential, National Assembly, governorship and state House of Assembly elections. The council will also supervise the issuance of certificates of return to successful candidates.
**What is the party’s outlook for the 2027 election?**
Describing itself as “turbo‑charged,” the NDC affirmed its readiness to provide Nigerians with what it calls altruistic leadership in the upcoming 2027 general election, pledging to prioritize the nation’s welfare over partisan interests.
