The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) says a candidate list circulating on social media for upcoming elections in Imo, Abia and Anambra is fake. Both outlets report that the party has publicly rejected the purported lists and is investigating how the documents spread. The NDC statement emphasizes that it is not responsible for the circulating information and that it is working to identify the source of the false lists.
Neither report indicates that the NDC has confirmed the identities of the candidates included in the disputed social media document. The party’s position is that the official candidate information submitted to the electoral authority—Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)—does not match what is being shared online. The reports frame the issue as misinformation related to candidate nomination for the three states, with the NDC calling on the public to disregard the circulating list while it conducts its review.
The reports present the same core facts: the NDC disowns the list, denies authenticity, and says it is investigating the origin of the materials.
