The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has disowned a viral list of state chairmen circulating across social media platforms.
Earlier today, a post attributed to the ADC surfaced online
announcing the appointment of 36 state chairmen and one for the federal capital
territory (FCT).
However, in a statement issued on Wednesday evening, Bolaji
Abdullahi, the ADC interim spokesperson, said the opposition party is unaware
of any such appointments and described the publication as false.
Abdullahi asked Nigerians to disregard the list, noting that
no official announcement has been made regarding state leadership.
“The ADC admonishes Nigerians to verify all its information
via the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of its National Publicity
Secretary, @BolajiADC,” the statement reads.
“Any information that does not emanate from the appropriate
communication channels of the party and is not verified on the X (formerly
Twitter) page of the National Publicity Secretary should be disregarded.”
The ADC spokesperson also raised the alarm over unauthorised
platforms reportedly collecting money from unsuspecting citizens under the
pretext of party registration.
Abdullahi noted that the party has not endorsed any online
payment system for registration and condemned the move as a deliberate attempt
to defraud the public.
“The party also dismissed and strongly condemned the
information that some persons have set up fictitious online platforms to
swindle unsuspecting Nigerians of their hard-earned money under the guise of
registering them with the party,” he said.
He advised Nigerians to be cautious and consult credible
sources for any information relating to the party or the opposition coalition.
Abdullahi added that the details of all legitimate party
activities and coalition engagements will be made available through proper
channels.
