The Nigeria Democratic Congress on Sunday distanced itself from various results of its recently concluded nationwide primaries circulating on social media, insisting that only the party’s National Executive Council is authorised to announce the outcome of the exercise.
The party also warned that the results being shared in the media should be disregarded, stressing that the official outcome of the primaries conducted across the country on May 28 and 29 remains under the custody of the National Executive Council.
The PUNCH, however, could not independently verify which primaries the advisory specifically applies to.
In a statement issued in Abuja, NDC National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, announced that a NEC meeting has been summoned next week to deliberate on the primaries and other matters arising from the exercise.
He said, “The general public is hereby urged to disregard the various results circulating on social media as the outcome of the nationwide primaries conducted by the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, on the 28th and 29th of May, 2026.
“The results of the primaries are with the National Executive Council, NEC, of our great party. They are solely responsible for announcements of results.”
In his explanation, the Director noted that the meeting was summoned on the directive of the National Leader, Senator Seriake Dickson.
