The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has firmly denied reports suggesting the party lacks governorship candidates in 12 states as it prepares for the 2027 general election. The party's National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, issued a statement clarifying that the NDC has nominated candidates for all 28 states where gubernatorial elections will be held.
The NDC dismissed the allegations as "false, malicious propaganda" aimed at undermining its growing political influence ahead of the elections. The party listed its governorship candidates in the 12 states previously reported as lacking candidates, including Senator Kabiru Marafa in Zamfara State, retired Rear Admiral Ibrahim Sanusi Kasim in Borno, and Hon.
John Odey in Cross River. The NDC further emphasized its nationwide presence, stating that it is fully prepared, structured, and has supporters in all 36 states and the FCT. The party acknowledged the circulation of false narratives in the media and social media platforms and urged journalists and content creators to verify information before publication.
The NDC urged Nigerians to embrace its political agenda, which focuses on security, employment creation, accountability, and the rescue and rebuilding of Nigeria. The party positioned itself as an alternative to established political parties, declaring that Nigerians were "tired of the old order" and "recycled failures."
