Confusion Rocks ADC: Party Says INEC Yet To Confirm State Chairmen List

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has dismissed reports claiming that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed a list of state chairmen for the party.

In a statement released on Sunday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the ADC described the circulating list as fake and misleading.

He urged members of the public to disregard the document, insisting it was the handiwork of individuals bent on creating confusion and discrediting the party.

Abdullahi clarified that the constitution of state leadership remains the internal responsibility of the ADC, stressing that INEC only acknowledges lists officially submitted by the party through the proper process.

“As of today, the ADC has not submitted any list of state chairmen to INEC, and no such list has been validated by the commission,” he said.

The statement further read:
“Our attention has been drawn to a publication titled ‘Coalition Update: INEC Confirms ADC State Chairmen Nationwide’. This is fake news, designed by mischief-makers to mislead our members and the public. INEC has neither released nor confirmed any such list, officially or otherwise.

“Let it be on record that the process of constituting and ratifying state executives lies squarely within the party’s constitutional framework. INEC merely recognizes what the party duly submits after following the right procedures.

“We therefore call on members and stakeholders to remain calm, disciplined, and guided by official communication from the national leadership. The strength of the ADC rests not only in numbers but in structure, discipline, and commitment to internal democracy.

“The public is advised to ignore the fake list in circulation. Authentic updates on party leadership will only be shared through verified ADC channels.”
