The NDC has appointed Agada Abuh Theophilus, a known critic of Peter Obi and the Obidient Movement, as its Director of New Media and Strategic Communications.
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has appointed Agada Abuh Theophilus, a prominent critic of the party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as its Director of New Media and Strategic Communications.
According to Tribune, the appointment was announced in a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, alongside the appointment of Brian Dennis as Deputy Director of New Media and Strategic Communications.
The party said the appointments are part of efforts to strengthen its digital operations and expand its media engagement strategy ahead of future political activities.
Theophilus became a notable figure in Nigeria’s political discourse following the 2023 presidential election, frequently using social media platform X to challenge Obi, the Obidient Movement and several positions advanced by the former Anambra State governor’s supporters.
Despite his criticism of Obi and the movement, the NDC described him as a seasoned communications professional with extensive experience in political communications, corporate brand management and public relations.
According to the party, Theophilus is an Associate of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations and holds a Master of Arts degree in Development Communications with a specialisation in strategic communication for social and institutional development. He is also pursuing a PhD focused on election administration and management.
The party described Dennis as a communications analyst with seven years of experience in strategic and political communications and noted that he holds a Master’s degree in Peace and Conflict Resolution.
“The party is excited to welcome both appointees and looks forward to the energy, expertise and fresh perspective they bring to its communications efforts. The NDC is confident that their leadership will strengthen the party’s voice and deepen its engagement with Nigerians across every platform,” the statement said.
