NDC adopts crowdfunding to check 'moneybags' ahead of 2027

Add as a preferred source The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced plans to adopt a crowdfunding model to finance its activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, saying the initiative is aimed at preventing wealthy individuals from exerting undue influence on the party.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, disclosed this in an interview on Trust TV’s Sunday Politic, where he explained that the proposed funding structure would allow members and supporters to contribute according to their financial capacity.

Director said the initiative was designed to give ordinary Nigerians a greater stake in the affairs of the party while limiting the ability of wealthy donors, popularly described as “moneybags”, to dictate the party’s decisions.

According to him, the NDC wants to develop a funding system that promotes broad-based ownership and financial accountability.
