NDC national leader, Senator Dickson, highlighted in a statement: 

"I thank all our compatriots in Zamfara, Katsina, FCT, Kano, Jigawa State, and indeed across the country, who are registering on the platform of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and mobilising others to join. We appreciate your efforts, which have contributed to the rapid growth of the NDC into a truly national party—strong, organised, and ready to compete democratically in the next elections.

"By next week, our compatriots in the South West, South East, North Central, North East, and North West will join the South-South in full mobilisation for the membership registration exercise.

"I thank our party officials for their efforts, and I thank Nigerians for their interest, support, and prayers.

"As I have always maintained, I am an apostle of nonviolent politics. Those who, out of pettiness, envy, and fear, resort to using state resources to sponsor smear campaigns or incite violence should do so in their own name, not in ours. 

"Throughout my years in politics, I have never been associated with violence; my focus has always been on promoting peace, order, and stability. It is always the party with federal and state might and resources that deploys thugs, military, and other security agents to kill and maim innocent supporters of mine over the years.

"The NDC has come to stay. No amount of intimidation or smear campaign can deter us, and the sooner this is understood, the better. Those who disagree should channel their energies into preparing their candidates and presenting their ideas to the people when campaigns begin, rather than engaging in violence, propaganda, and public disorder.

"The NDC is not a sudden creation. It is the product of years of vision, planning, and perseverance, dating back to 2017, when I foresaw the need for a strong, ideologically driven democratic party in Nigeria. We persevered through legal and political challenges until we finally secured victory in court.

"I, therefore, call on all members and supporters of the NDC to conduct themselves peacefully and continue their mobilisation efforts in a responsible, orderly, and nonviolent manner, ignoring irritations and distractions.

"I enjoin the general public to be wary of merchants and contractors of violence and smear campaigns.

"For us in the NDC, our strength lies in our discipline, our message, and our commitment to democratic ideals—not in confrontation or disorder.

"I call on security agencies to nip in the bud any individuals masquerading as supporters of those in authority who incite violence or engage in actions capable of endangering lives and property, all in a bid to make money and create unnecessary fear.

"Members and supporters of the NDC have the constitutional right to belong to and associate with any political party of their choice, or even contest elections. They should, therefore, disregard all forms of intimidation and propaganda and remain focused on the collective goal of building a strong, transparent, and people-driven democratic movement.

"Nigeria cannot, and must not, become a one-party state. Democracy must survive, and the voices of all Nigerians must continue to count.

"God bless Nigeria. —HSD"
