The national secretariat of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said it has no candidate yet ahead of the Osun state governorship election.
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, made the declaration on Wednesday on his X handle.
His clarification was on the heels of speculation that Dr Najeem Salam has emerged as the party candidate.
But the ADC spokesman maintained that the claim that the party “has “picked” a candidate is false and should be disregarded.”
His post read, “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.”
