APC Denies Viral List of Primary Election Winners as Fake
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described a circulating list that claims to show the winners of its recent primary elections as fake and unauthorised.
The party stated that successful aspirants will be notified officially through its recognised channels before any Certificates of Return are issued.
APC urged members, stakeholders, and the general public to rely solely on its official communications for accurate updates on the outcome of the primaries.
The statement read, “The APC hereby informs the general public that it has not released the official list of successful candidates from its recently‑conducted primaries.”
“The public is therefore advised to disregard any publication or report purporting to announce the outcome of the primaries, as such information is false and unauthorised.”
“Successful candidates would be formally notified through the party’s official channels, after which Certificates of Return would be issued in line with established procedures.”
APC Chieftain Dismisses Peter Obi’s 2027 Election Claims
In a separate development, Dr George Agbakahi, a prominent APC figure in the South‑East, rejected allegations made by former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi that there are plans to prevent him from contesting the 2027 presidential election.
Agbakahi labelled Obi’s claims as baseless, unfortunate, and politically motivated, stressing that any accusation of executive interference must be backed by credible and verifiable evidence.
He noted that no publicly available evidence links the Federal Government or the Presidency to a scheme aimed at blocking any qualified opposition candidate from running in 2027.
Agbakahi added that the ongoing legal matters concerning the registration status of the Nigeria Democratic Congress are already before the courts and stem from intra‑party disputes, not government action.
He reminded listeners that Nigeria’s constitution guarantees judicial independence and provides legal avenues for aggrieved parties to seek redress.
