EKO HOT BLOG reports that in a statement issued on Sunday, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said only information released through the party’s official communication channels should be regarded as authentic.

“The APC hereby informs the general public that it has not released the official list of successful candidates from its recently conducted primaries.

“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.”

The ruling party urged its members and supporters to await official communication on the outcome of the primary elections, stressing that certificates of return would only be presented to duly notified candidates.

Meanwhile, an APC chieftain in the South East, Dr George Agbakahi, has dismissed allegations by former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, that there are plans to prevent him from contesting the 2027 presidential election.

Agbakahi described the claims as baseless, politically motivated and unsupported by evidence.

In a statement made available to journalists in Abuja, he argued that allegations of executive interference in the electoral process should be backed by credible and verifiable evidence.

According to him, there is no publicly available evidence linking the Federal Government or the Presidency to any attempt to stop any qualified opposition candidate from participating in the 2027 election.

He further stated that legal disputes surrounding the registration status of the Nigeria Democratic Congress are already before the courts and stem from disagreements among political parties rather than actions initiated by the Federal Government.

Agbakahi added that Nigeria’s Constitution guarantees the independence of the judiciary and provides legal avenues for aggrieved parties to seek redress.
