By Lawrence Mpama

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has come out strongly to states that, the party is not shopping or lobbying for candidates to fill it elective offices in the forth coming general election in the country. The statement has become necessary following  social media accounts and a few conventional media reports alleging that the party through X fake social media platform is courting Peter Obi, Kwankwaso to come and be it presidential flag bearers.

The party through it National Secretary,  Barr Ikenna Morgan Enekweizu, states that everyone is welcome to join our party (NDC), and that the public should ignore any report, either in the traditional media or social media claiming that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), is lobbying any specific individual or group to contest election on the platform of the party.

“The NDC has had cause in the past to alert Nigerians of this fake X account, dissociating itself from it.
While we concede that the account might be operated by an enthusiastic supporter or just any other person, we stated then, and do restate now, that posts made from it are not official NDC positions. He asserted further that, the party encourages Nigerians, particularly the media, to always crosscheck their facts on the verified NDC X handle @Nigeria NDCHQ.”

The statement went further to thank “Nigerians for their overwhelming support for the NDC, even within the few weeks of its existence as a political party.”  “We also invite every Nigerian desirous of positive change, and every lover of multi-party democracy to join the NDC, work for the party and feel free to contest elections on its platform. This appeal is especially so for women and persons with disability. For the NDC is a party for all.”
” NDC is an ideological party committed to the service of Nigeria and Nigerians. We invite Nigerians from all corners of the country and the world to feel free and register to join the party.” He concluded.
