The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has refuted a report alleging that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) confirmed a list of its state chairmen across the country.
In a statement released on Sunday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, dismissed the report — titled “Coalition Update: INEC Confirms ADC State Chairmen Nationwide” — as fake news intended to sow confusion within the party.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission, to the best of our knowledge and verification, has issued no such confirmation, neither officially nor unofficially,” Abdullahi said.
He explained that choosing and approving state leaders is the party’s internal responsibility, not INEC’s.
“The process of constituting and ratifying state leadership within any political party lies squarely within the party’s constitutional prerogative. INEC only recognizes what the party submits through the appropriate channels after due process,” he added.
Abdullahi urged ADC members and the public to ignore the fake list and wait for official communication.
“We therefore urge our members and stakeholders to remain calm, vigilant, and guided by official communication from the national leadership of the ADC,” he said.
He reassured supporters that the ADC remains committed to discipline, structure, and internal democracy, adding that any genuine updates on party leadership will be shared through verified platforms.
