The Nigeria Democratic Congress on Sunday distanced itself from various results of its recently concluded nationwide primaries circulating on social media, insisting that only the party’s National Executive Council is authorised to announce the outcome of the exercise.
The party also warned that the results being shared in the media should be disregarded, stressing that the official outcome of the primaries conducted across the country on May 28 and 29 remains under the custody of the NEC.
The PUNCH, however, could not independently verify whether the advisory applies to all the primaries, including Saturday’s affirmation of Peter Obi’s sole presidential ticket.
In a statement issued in Abuja, NDC National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, announced that a NEC meeting had been summoned in Abuja to deliberate on the primaries and other matters arising from the exercise next week.
He said, “The general public is hereby urged to disregard the various results circulating on social media as the outcome of the nationwide primaries conducted by the Nigeria Democratic Congress on the 28th and 29th of May, 2026.
