The African Democratic Party has debunked insinuation in some quarters that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)has recognised the state Chairmen of the party in the 36 state of the Federation and FCT.<\/p>\n
In statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi,”The attention of the national leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been drawn to a widely circulated statement titled “Coalition Update: INEC Confirms ADC State Chairmen Nationwide,” which purports that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released and validated a list of State Party Chairmen for the ADC across the country.<\/p>\n
“This report is fake news, obviously engineered by individuals who have shown relentless determination to sow confusion within our party and mislead the public.<\/p>\n
“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to the best of our knowledge and verification, has issued no such confirmation, neither officially nor unofficially.”<\/p>\n
According to Mallam Abdullahi,” let it be clearly stated that the process of constituting and ratifying state leadership within any political party lies squarely within the party\u2019s constitutional prerogative.<\/p>\n
“INEC only recognizes what the party submits through the appropriate channels after due process. As of today, no such comprehensive list has been submitted or confirmed by INEC.<\/p>\n
“We therefore urge our members and stakeholders to remain calm, vigilant, and guided by official communication from the national leadership of the ADC. Let us be reminded that the strength of any political movement lies not just in its numbers, but in its discipline, structure, and fidelity to internal democracy.”<\/p>\n
The ADC, the statement noted,”remains committed to these values.
\nThe public is advised to disregard the fake list in circulation. As always, any authentic update regarding party structure will be communicated via our party<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
