The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has dismissed the reports making the rounds that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has confirmed the list of its state chairmen.
This was contained in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Bolaji Abdullahi, on Sunday.
Abdullahi described a report titled “Coalition Update: INEC confirms ADC state chairmen nationwide” as fake.
He said the report was a handiwork of those who want to sow confusion within the party and mislead the public.
Abdullahi further explained that the confirmation of state leadership is an internal party process governed by its constitution.
He pointed out that INEC would only recognise submissions made through proper channels after due process.
“The attention of the national leadership of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has been drawn to a widely circulated statement titled ‘Coalition Update: INEC Confirms ADC State Chairmen Nationwide,’ which purports that the INEC has released and validated a list of state party chairmen for the ADC across the country.
“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 statement said.
