The Nigeria Democratic Congress has disowned lists of candidates currently circulating on social media for elections in Imo, Abia, Anambra and other affected states, describing them as fake and unauthorised.

The party said the lists did not emanate from its national headquarters and urged its members and the general public to disregard them.

In a statement issued on Friday by its National Secretary, Barrister Ikenna Enekweizu, the NDC said it had already submitted the authentic lists of its candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission through the appropriate channel, in line with the Electoral Act.

“The general public, especially members of the NDC in Imo, Abia, Anambra and other affected states, are hereby urged to disregard the lists of candidates widely circulating on social media as the authentic lists of our party’s candidates from the aforementioned states. The said lists are fake and did not emanate from the party headquarters,” the statement said.

The party said the circulating lists were being promoted by mischief makers and persons who do not wish the NDC well.

“Our party has since submitted the lists of authentic candidates that will fly our party’s flag to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, using the appropriate channel as approved by the Electoral Act,” it added.

The NDC further stated that it had commenced investigation into the source of the fake lists and alleged leaks, describing them as desperate attempts to cause confusion and create distractions within the party.

“Such lists in circulation are being peddled by mischief makers and those who do not wish the party well. However, the party is investigating the sources of such fabrications and leaks, as they are desperate attempts to sow ill will and create distractions within the party,” the statement added.

The party reassured its members that it remained committed to building a strong political platform capable of addressing Nigeria’s current challenges.

“This is to reassure our members that the NDC is robustly committed to building a party that would serve as a vehicle to liberate Nigeria from its present parlous state with the cooperation of everyone,” it said.
