NDC Rejects Automatic Ticket for George Olawande, Demands Performance-Based Primary

The national leadership of the Nigerian Democratic Congress has declined to grant Hon. George Olawande automatic support for his second-term ambition ahead of the 2027 elections. Party sources say stakeholders in Amuwo Odofin accused the incumbent of underperformance, citing a lack of visible projects, poor resident engagement and no functioning constituency office. The NDC leadership insists the era of entitlement politics is over. Every aspirant must earn endorsement through competence, accessibility and measurable impact. Political observers believe the decision signals a new emphasis on merit, accountability and grassroots mobilisation in candidate selection.
