ADC Disowns Fake List Of State Party Chairmen
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed a list circulating online, purportedly approved by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), as containing names of its state chairmen.
ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, in a statement on Sunday, described the report as fake news engineered to mislead the public.
“This report is fake news, obviously engineered by individuals who have shown relentless determination to sow confusion within our party and mislead the public.
“The public is advised to disregard the fake list in circulation. As always, any authentic update regarding party structure will be communicated via our verified channels,” Abdullahi said.
He clarified that no such list had been validated by INEC.
“INEC only recognises what the party submits through the appropriate channels after due process. As of today, no such comprehensive list has been submitted or confirmed by INEC.
“We therefore urge our members and stakeholders to remain calm, vigilant, and guided by official communication from the national leadership of the ADC.
“Let us be reminded that the strength of any political movement lies not just in its numbers, but in its discipline, structure, and fidelity to internal democracy. The ADC remains committed to these values,” Abdullahi stated.
The ADC has in recent times accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of infiltrating opposition parties and instigating leadership crises at both state and national levels.
