Nigeria Democratic Congress, on Saturday, confirmed that it has governorship candidates in all 28 states where governorship elections will be held in the 2027 general elections.
NDC National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, disclosed this in a statement on Saturday.
Director said the party was shocked to discover what he described as a false report 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.
He stressed that the claim was false, malicious and “a lie from the pit of hell,” alleging that it was intended to mislead Nigerians and undermine the growing momentum of the NDC nationwide.
Director said the NDC has duly nominated governorship candidates in all 28 states where governorship elections will take place in 2027.
He said, “Our party is fully prepared, fully structured, and fully on ground in every state of the federation. The NDC is not a regional party. We are a national movement with candidates, structures, and supporters in all 36 states and the FCT.
“We urge media houses, journalists, bloggers, and content creators to scrutinize their sources and verify information before publishing. Journalism thrives on truth, not rumors. Peddling unverified propaganda only erodes public trust in the media and in our democracy.”
The NDC spokesman reiterated the party’s commitment to issue-based politics, noting that it would not be distracted by what he described as sponsored falsehoods.
Director added, “Nigerians are tired of the old order. They are tired of recycled failures. The NDC is the preferred party to salvage Nigeria. With credible candidates, a clear manifesto, and a commitment to security, jobs, and accountability, we are ready to rescue and rebuild this nation in 2027.
“We call on all Nigerians to join the movement. The rescue mission has started.”
