NDC yet to officially release results of primary elections – Party disowns Kano list

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has clarified that official results of the party’s recently concluded primary elections are yet to be released nationwide.

The party made the clarification in a statement issued on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, while reacting to reports of removal of some candidates from the list of winners in Kano State.

Reports had emerged on Monday purporting that some candidates loyal to the NDC vice presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, were removed.

Clearing the air, NDC said it has not “released any official results of primary elections in any state”, urging the public and party members to “disregard any such list in circulation”.

The statement also confirmed that a “delegation of the national leadership of the Kwankwasiya Movement last night met with the national leader, His Excellency Senator Henry Seriake Dickson and the leadership of the NDC.

“The close door meeting was aimed at resolving the issues between the Kwankwasiya Movement and the legacy officials of NDC in Kano State.

“Senator Dickson and the NDC leadership are mediating in the process in order to enhance inclusion and participation by every party member.

“The NDC leadership will not impose candidates in Kano State, and indeed across the nation as the party cherishes the virtues of internal democracy.

“The meeting which lasted several hours was productive,” the statement added.
