2027 Elections: NDC fields governorship candidates in 28 states

The leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has confirmed that it has governorship candidates in all 28 states where governorship elections will be held in the 2027 general elections.

Osa Director, the National Publicity Secretary of the party,  made the clarification in a statement on Saturday.

The NDC spokesman 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.

Director 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.

According to him, the NDC has duly nominated governorship candidates in all 28 states where governorship elections will take place in 2027.

In his words: “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.”

Mr Director reiterated the party’s commitment to issue-based politics, noting that it would not be distracted by what he described as sponsored falsehoods.
