ADC reacts to list of state chairman, online registration

News Update

THE African Democratic Congress, ADC, has distanced itself from a list of appointed state chairmen circulating on social media.

ADC urged members to beware of fake news being circulated in the name of the party online.

The denial was contained in a statement signed by ADC’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi.

According to Abdullahi: “ADC wishes to make it known to the public that the party is not aware of any appointment of state chairmen as being circulated on the social media space.

“The ADC admonishes Nigerians to verify every of its information via the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of its National Publicity Secretary, @BolajiADC.

“Any information that does not emanate from the appropriate communication channels of the party and verified on the X (formerly Twitter) page of the National Publicity Secretary should be disregarded.”

The party also denied reports that it had set up online registration payment for registration.

Abdullahi said such a fictitious measure was set up to swindle Nigerians.

He added: “The party also dismissed and condemned in strong terms the information that some persons have set up fictitious online platforms to swindle unsuspecting Nigerians of their hard-earned money under the guise of registering them to the party.

“The ADC cautions Nigerians to be wary of such fraudulent acts and consult widely within the appropriate channels which will be made available to the general public on the activities of the ADC and the coalition of opposition political parties.”
