The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, in Enugu State has appointed Nigerian-American businessman, Dr. SKC Ogbonnia, as the leader of the party in the state.

Ogbonnia was announced as the party leader following an expanded state executive meeting held in Enugu on Saturday.

The party’s secretary, Dr. Sebastine Chukwuebuka Okafor disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Saturday.

Okafor said the decision was taken in recognition of Ogbonnia’s contributions to the growth of the party and his support for the electoral victory of its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

According to him, the new leadership arrangement is expected to improve coordination among party members and provide effective direction as the party prepares for upcoming political activities.

“The party is focused on building a united structure that will work collectively towards electoral victory, which is why it was created in the first instance.

“With someone like Dr. SKC Ogbonnia, who has demonstrated a strong commitment to the growth and stability of the NDC in Enugu State, victory is assured come 2027.

“This is because his background in business, academia and public affairs will bring valuable experience to the party’s leadership, and we believe that his experience and exposure will contribute meaningfully to the development of the NDC in Enugu State,” Okafor said.

He urged members and supporters of the party to support the new leadership and remain committed to the objectives of the NDC.

“This is a time for unity, discipline and collective responsibility among members of the party. The party remains committed to presenting a credible political alternative to the people of Enugu State and Nigeria.

“Our objective is clear: to build a strong political platform capable of delivering the change Nigerians are demanding,” he added.

The state chairman of the party, Dr. Johnpaul Anih, while speaking, commended the National Leader of the party, Senator Seriake Dickson, and the National Chairman, Senator Cleopas Moses Zuwoghe, for their efforts to unite the party across the country, particularly in Enugu State.

He assured members that the state leadership would continue to mobilise support and strengthen the party’s structures across the state.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
