Seriake Dickson, the national leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has urged party chieftains to discipline their supporters.

He made this appeal on Thursday during an NDC stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja.

Addressing recent criticisms of the party, he emphasised that they will not permit anyone to damage the reputation of any member.

“I can’t get why some people are painting the NDC in a bad light and why their leaders can’t call their supporters to order for God’s sake.

“When they came in, we accepted that we are going to be partners and build this platform together. They are our flag bearers, all of us will support them go through the general elections and bring Nigerians a government that they deserve.

“We are not going to allow anyone to destroy anybody’s image when you have just come into the party and we have done everything for you,” Dickson said.
