NDC Reaffirms It Has Governorship Candidates In 28 States

 

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC says it is shocked over a false story and deliberate propaganda circulating in sections of the media and on social media which claims that the NDC does not have governorship candidates in 12 states ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, the Party stated:

“We state categorically that this claim is false, malicious, a lie from the pit of hell, and intended to mislead Nigerians and undermine the growing momentum of the NDC nationwide.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the NDC has duly nominated and has governorship candidates in all the 28 states where governorship elections will take place in 2027.

“Our party is fully prepared, fully structured, and fully on ground in every state of the federation. The NDC is not a regional party. We are a national movement with candidates, structures, and supporters in all 36 states and the FCT.

“To set the record straight, below are the NDC Governorship Candidates in the 12 states falsely listed in the propaganda:

“A CALL TO THE MEDIA

We urge media houses, journalists, bloggers, and content creators to scrutinize their sources and verify information before publishing. Journalism thrives on truth, not rumors. Peddling unverified propaganda only erodes public trust in the media and in our democracy.

“The NDC remains committed to issue-based politics. We will not be distracted by sponsored falsehoods.

“CONCLUSION

Nigerians are tired of the old order. They are tired of recycled failures. The NDC is the preferred party to salvage Nigeria. With credible candidates, a clear manifesto, and a commitment to security, jobs, and accountability, we are ready to rescue and rebuild this nation in 2027.

“We call on all Nigerians to join the movement. The rescue mission has started.”
