The Osun State chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has said that it has not picked anybody as its candidate for the next year’s governorship election in the State.
The party made the clarification in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi.
The coalition party explained that for the purpose of conducting the primaries to elect the party’s flagbearer for the 2026 governorship election in Osun, a timetable has been released and widely publicised.
All aspirants, it pointed out, are urged to adhere strictly to the guidelines.
According to the statement by Abdullahi, “The African Democratic Congress would like to affirm our earlier statement that videos and social media posts claiming that the party has “picked” a candidate are false and should be disregarded.
“For the purpose of conducting the primaries to elect the party’s flagbearer for the 2026 governorship election in Osun, a timetable has been released and widely publicised. All aspirants are urged to adhere strictly to the guidelines.
“For the avoidance of doubts, the ADC remains committed to the highest standards of internal democracy, anchored on a free, fair and transparent electoral process”, the statement concluded.
