APC Rejects Viral List Of Primary Election Winners

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described the purported list announcing the outcome of its primaries as fake.

NEWSNGR reports that the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, in a statement issued on Sunday, said the party had not released any official list of winners from the primaries and warned members and the general public against relying on unauthorised publications.

The party explained that successful aspirants would be officially informed through its recognised communication channels before being issued Certificates of Return.

It also urged its members, stakeholders, and the general public to rely solely on official APC communications for updates regarding the outcome of its primary elections.

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,” he said.

“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.”

In other news, a chieftain of APC in the South-East, Dr George Agbakahi, has dismissed claims by former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, that there are plans to stop him from contesting the 2027 presidential election.

Agbakahi described Obi’s allegations as baseless, unfortunate and politically motivated.

In a statement made available to journalists in Abuja, Agbakahi said claims of executive interference in the electoral process should be supported with credible and verifiable evidence.

Reacting to Obi’s claims, the APC chieftain said there was no publicly available evidence linking the Federal Government or the Presidency to any plan to prevent any qualified opposition figure from contesting the 2027 election.

According to him, legal issues surrounding the registration status of the Nigeria Democratic Congress were already before the courts and arose from disputes involving political parties, not actions initiated by the Federal Government.

He said Nigeria’s constitution guaranteed the independence of the judiciary and provided legal avenues for dissatisfied parties to seek redress.
