The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) national leader, Senator Seriake Dickson, calls on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to correct the final candidates list for the 2027 elections after some NDC governorship candidates were reportedly omitted.
According to multiple reports, Dickson says names of NDC governorship candidates in Kano, Kaduna and Cross River states do not appear on INEC’s published final list. Vanguard and Premium Times both report his position that INEC should address the omissions promptly, while Daily Post Nigeria highlights his reassurance to affected candidates that the party is already taking steps and that there is no need to panic.
Across the outlets, the common thread is the reported exclusion of specific NDC candidates from INEC’s list and Dickson’s appeal for the commission to restore them. None of the sources provide details of INEC’s explanation or the specific process for amending the final list, focusing instead on the party’s response and Dickson’s statements.
