The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has dismissed reports that it does not have governorship candidates in 12 states ahead of the 2027 elections.
The party described the reports as false and politically motivated, insisting that it has duly nominated governorship candidates in all 28 states where governorship elections are scheduled to hold in 2027.
The NDC National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, made the position known in a statement, saying the party is fully prepared for the elections and has structures, candidates and supporters across the country.
To counter the reports, the party released names of its governorship candidates in the 12 states mentioned.
They include Senator Kabiru Marafa in Zamfara State; retired Rear Admiral Ibrahim Sanusi Kasim in Borno; Hon. John Odey in Cross River; Babanta Michael Okon in Akwa Ibom; Nwofe Boniface in Ebonyi; and Yakubu Solomon Ndam in Plateau State.
Others are Ilu-Barde Aliyu in Katsina; Alhaji Umar Usman Besse in Kebbi; Jonga Yahaya Gabakau in Yobe; Dutse Aminu Sani in Jigawa; Professor Yahaya Mohammed Sani in Taraba; and Abdu Sidi Bomi in Niger State.
The party urged media organisations, journalists, bloggers and other content creators to verify information before publishing reports concerning its activities.
The NDC said it remains committed to issue-based politics and will not be distracted by what it described as sponsored falsehoods ahead of the 2027 elections.
It also presented itself as an alternative to the existing political establishment, citing security, employment and accountability among the issues it intends to prioritise if elected.
