The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken a firm stance against unofficial primary election results circulating on social media, emphasizing the necessity of adhering to its internal processes. The party's leadership has reiterated that only the National Executive Council (NEC) is empowered to declare the official outcomes of the primaries, a move aimed at safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process.
Party officials expressed concern that misinformation could undermine public confidence in the NDC's democratic practices. "We urge all party members and the general public to disregard any results not announced by the NEC," stated Adebola Makanjuola, NDC's National Publicity Secretary. This declaration comes ahead of an imminent NEC meeting, where candidates for the upcoming elections are expected to be finalized.
As the political landscape evolves, the NDC's proactive measures reflect a commitment to transparency and accountability. By addressing potential disinformation head-on, the party aims to foster unity and reaffirm its readiness for the electoral challenges ahead. The outcome of the NEC meeting will be pivotal in shaping the NDC's strategy as it prepares for a competitive election season.
