ADC Disowns Purported List Of State Party Chairmen In Circulation
The African Democratic Congress (ADC), has disowned a list in circulation purportedly approved by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as that of state chairmen of the party.
“This report is fake news, obviously engineered by individuals who have shown relentless determination to sow confusion within our party and mislead the public.
“The public is advised to disregard the fake list in circulation. As always, any authentic update regarding party structure will be communicated via our verified channels,” ADC spokesman, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi said in a statement on Sunday.
Abdullahi said no such list was validated by INEC, clarifying that the process of constituting and ratifying state leadership within any political party lies squarely within individual party’s constitutional prerogative.
“INEC only recognises 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.
“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. The ADC remains committed to these values.”
The ADC, like other opposition parties, has been fighting to ward off leadership infiltration, allegedly by agents of the ruling All Progressives Congress (ADC) at the state and national levels.
