The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) dismisses allegations that it engages in irregularities in its candidate selection and financing for the 2027 general elections. The party says there were no illegal payments or favouritism, and that its internal processes do not require aspirants to pay for party tickets.
Vanguard reports that the NDC specifically denies claims tied to its activities around the selection process, stating that its candidate, Dickson, neither demanded nor received money from aspirants. Daily Post Nigeria similarly says the party denies illegal payments and any arrangement that would compel aspirants to make payments to obtain tickets.
Across both outlets, the NDC presents these denials as a response to circulating claims about how candidates are chosen and funded, arguing that the allegations are unfounded. While the outlets differ slightly in the details emphasized—Vanguard foregrounds the denial involving Dickson, and Daily Post Nigeria highlights the party’s general rebuttal and attribution to a party spokesperson—they converge on the core point: the party denies illegal payments, favouritism, and ticket-related extortion claims.
