ABUJA — THE Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has dismissed reports alleging irregularities in its candidate selection and financing ahead of the 2027 general elections, insisting that there were no illegal payments or favouritism in the process.

The party said its decision to seek donations, levies and contributions from members, aspirants and supporters was lawful, strategic and provided for in its constitution.

In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, Tuesday, the NDC said political parties globally relied on donations, levies and contributions from members, supporters and stakeholders to fund their operations.
