What NDC Said About X Account’s Lobbying Kwankwaso And Obi With 2027 Presidential Ticket
Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has distanced itself from a post by a fake X account, claiming that it is lobbying ex-governors Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Mr Peter Obi as candidates for the 2027 presidential election.
The NDC National Secretary, Ikenna Morgan Enekweizu, in a statement issued on Sunday, urged the public to ignore any report “either in the traditional media or social media claiming that the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, is lobbying any specific individual or group to contest election on the platform of the party.
“This is contrary to insinuations made by a rogue X (formerly Twitter) account parodying the verified X handle of the NDC (@NigerianNDCHQ), with our colors, logo and all.
“The NDC has had cause in the past to alert Nigerians of this fake X account, dissociating itself from it.
“While we concede that the account might be operated by an enthusiastic supporter or just any other person, we stated then, and do restate now, that posts made from it are not official NDC positions”.
The party encouraged Nigerians, to always crosscheck their facts on the verified NDC X handle @Nigeria NDCHQ.
The party thanked Nigerians for their overwhelming support for the NDC, even within the few weeks of its existence as a political party.
“We also invite every Nigerian desirous of positive change, and every lover of multi-party democracy to join the NDC, work for the party and feel free to contest elections on its platform. This appeal is especially so for women and persons with disability. For the NDC is a party for all.
“NDC is an ideological party committed to the service of Nigeria and Nigerians. We invite Nigerians from all corners of the country and the world to feel free and register to join the party”.
