Plateau State Gubernatorial Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Barr Caleb Mutfwang, has stated that all the candidates of the party contesting at all levels are on the ballot, contrary to the insinuation going around that they will not be on the ballot paper.
The gubernatorial candidate in a statement signed by the Directorate of Media and Publicity, Atiku-Okowa, Mutfwang-Piyo Campaign Council, Mr. Yiljap Abraham pointed out that the party’s candidates won their tickets fair and square in an open, transparent, and credible contest properly supervised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
He added that there is absolutely no legal or political impediment to the participation of the PDP and her candidates in these crucial polls.
“Those peddling otherwise are only clever in their own eyes and have no substance whatsoever.” “Rather, the rumor peddlers are in panic mode, having sensed right from the available signs that PDP is very poised for an unstoppable victory over their own preferred candidates,” he said.
The gubernatorial candidate enjoined
party members and supporters to discard the false alarm that PDP will not be on the ballot and the lie that the candidates face having their victories annulled even after winning the election.
The Presidency has mocked the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, over its newly released National Campaign Council list for the 2027 elections.
Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, in a post on his verified X handle on Sunday said the NDC list, chaired by Seriake Dickson and Peter Obi as Co-Chairman is "full of content creators."
He said Peter Obi and the NDC stylishly refused to name their campaign media surrogates in the mainstream media masquerading as On-Air Personalities, OAPs.
"Peter Obi and NDC have released their list of campaign council members; and as expected it is filled with content creators.
"They stylishly refused to name their campaign media surrogates in the mainstream media masquerading as OAP."
Bwala's comment comes hours after the NDC announced its National Campaign Council with Dickson as Chairman, Peter Obi as Co-Chairman and presidential candidate, Cleopas Moses Zuwoghe as Vice Chairman, Rabiu Kwankwaso as Co-Vice-Chairman and vice-presidential candidate.
Recall that the Presidency has repeatedly described Peter Obi as a "content creation candidate", accusing him of replacing reputable politicians like Kenneth Okonkwo and Valentine Ozigbo with social media content creators after they left his camp.
The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, has named its National Leader, Senator Henry Seriake Dickson, to chair its National Campaign Council for the 2027 general elections, with presidential candidate Peter Obi as co-chairman and vice-presidential candidate Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as co-vice-chairman.
In a post on X, the party announced the appointments saying the council would coordinate its campaign activities and mobilise support across the country ahead of the elections.
NDC National Chairman Senator Cleopas Moses Zuwoghe was named vice-chairman, while National Secretary Barrister Ikenna Morgan Enekweizu will serve as council secretary.
Mallam Ibrahim Hussain Abdulkarim was appointed director-general.
The party urged its members and supporters to remain united as it prepares for the elections.
“We call on all party members, supporters, and well-meaning Nigerians to remain united and focused as we work together to rescue our country,” the NDC said.
