Dismisses reports of gaps in 12 states as ‘false, malicious propaganda’

Sunday Aborisade in Abuja

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has dismissed reports that it lacked governorship candidates in 12 states ahead of the 2027 general election, insisting that it had duly nominated candidates in all the 28 states where governorship elections would be held.

The party described the reports as “false, malicious” and calculated to undermine its growing political presence ahead of the elections.

In a statement issued yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, NDC said it had candidates in the 12 states allegedly identified as having no governorship candidates.
