The Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, has advised the general public especially members of the party in Imo, Abia, Anambra and other affected states to disregard the lists of candidates widely circulating on social media as the authentic list of the party’s candidates.

NDC said the lists are fake and did not emanate from the party’s headquarters. In a statement signed by Bar. Ikenna Alex-Morgan Enekweizu, the party’s National Secretary

The statement added, “Since then, our party has submitted the lists of true candidates that will fly our party’s flag to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC through the proper channel as stipulated by the Electoral Act.

“Such lists in circulation are being peddled by mischief makers and those who do not want the party well.”

But the statement added that the party is investigating the sources of such fabrications and leakages, adding that there are desperate attempts to cause ill will and distractions within the party.

“This is to assure our members that the NDC is strongly committed to building a party that would be a vehicle to liberate Nigeria from its present parlous state with the cooperation of all,” it added .

Meanwhile, the NDC had recently asked its public office-seeking members to sign what it called anti-defection documents.

Candidates aspiring for elective positions on the platform of the Memorandum of Understanding are required to sign the legal documents that commit them to vacate their positions if they leave the party after winning elections.
