NDC Dismisses Viral Primary Results, Schedules NEC Meeting Ahead of Official Announcement

The Nigeria Democratic Congress has urged members of the public to ignore results circulating on social media claiming to show outcomes from its nationwide primaries held on May 28 and 29, insisting that no official declaration has been made.

In a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director Esq, the party clarified that the results remain under the custody of its National Executive Council (NEC), which is solely responsible for approving and announcing outcomes from the exercise.

According to the statement, the party leadership, acting on the directive of National Leader, Seriake Dickson, has convened a crucial NEC meeting to review matters arising from the primaries.

The statement disclosed that NEC members are expected to arrive in Abuja for a pre-meeting session on June 2, while the main council meeting is scheduled for June 3.

The party assured aspirants, stakeholders and supporters that official results would be made public after the completion of internal processes and the submission of candidates’ names to the electoral authorities.

The development comes amid growing speculation online following the conclusion of the party’s nationwide primary elections.
