The Nigeria Democratic Congress has dismissed reports claiming that it lacks governorship candidates in 12 states ahead of the 2027 general elections, describing the allegation as false and politically motivated.
The party, in a statement issued on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, insisted that it had nominated candidates for all 28 states where governorship elections are expected to be held in 2027.
Director said the reports questioning its presence in some states were aimed at undermining what it described as its growing national momentum.
He said, “The NDC has been shocked to discover a false story and deliberate propaganda circulating in sections of the media and on social media claiming that the NDC does not have governorship candidates in 12 states ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“We state categorically that this claim is false, malicious, a lie from the pit of hell, and intended to mislead Nigerians and undermine the growing momentum of the NDC nationwide.
