ABUJA- THE Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has distanced itself from the lists of candidates currently circulating on social media for elections in Imo, Abia, Anambra and other affected states, saying they are fake and unauthorised.

According to NDC, it was investigating the source of the fake lists, even though it had not disclosed the details of the candidates whose names had been officially submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In a statement issued on Friday by its National Secretary, Barrister Ikenna Enekweizu, the party urged its members and the general public to disregard the lists, insisting that they did not originate from the party’s national headquarters.
