Rivers NDC: INEC has uploaded Mike Nwielaghi’s name
The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Rivers State has dismissed reports claiming that the name of its Deputy Governorship Candidate, Dr. Mike Barieenee Nwielaghi, was not uploaded on the portal of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC. In a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Thursday, the party’s media directorate described the report as false and misleading, insisting that Nwielaghi’s name was successfully uploaded by INEC and that he remains the duly presented and recognised Deputy Governorship Candidate of the NDC in Rivers State. The party said his details were submitted through the appropriate electoral process and urged Nigerians, supporters and the media to verify electoral information from official sources before publishing or sharing reports. The NDC said political discourse should be based on facts rather than speculation, misinformation or attempts to create confusion among voters. It also reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, due process and issue-based political engagement, while promising to continue providing accurate information to Rivers residents as the electoral process progresses.
Confirming the uploading of his name by INEC, Dr. Nwielaghi said the NDC was ready to take over power at the next poll and give the people of Rivers State what he described as the best democracy they deserve. He also described the party’s governorship candidate, Chief Dumo Lulu Briggs, as a man loved by the people of the state. The NDC media directorate further appealed to journalists and members of the public to always verify claims through appropriate official channels before sharing information that could mislead the electorate. The party maintained that the facts remain clear that Nwielaghi is its Deputy Governorship Candidate for Rivers State. It thanked the people of the state for their continued support, confidence and encouragement, saying their solidarity and commitment to the NDC were deeply valued as the party continues its political journey.
