APC disowns fake senatorial candidates list circulating online

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a strong denial of a purported list of senatorial candidates circulating online. The party's National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, stated on Thursday that the list, titled "Concluded List of APC Senatorial Candidates So Far," is entirely fake and did not originate from the APC.

The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to a purported ‘Concluded List of APC Senatorial Candidates So Far’ currently circulating on social media and some online platforms.

The APC emphasized that only its National Working Committee (NWC), acting through authorized communication channels, has the power to announce official candidate lists. The party warned that circulating unverified information could mislead the public, create confusion, and undermine the integrity of its internal democratic processes.

The APC wishes to state that the said list is FAKE and did not emanate from the Party.

This clarification comes weeks after the APC conducted its senatorial primaries in May 2026 for the upcoming 2027 general elections. The primaries saw notable outcomes, including the affirmation of some incumbent senators and governors securing senatorial tickets, while others, like former senator Ben Murray-Bruce, were disqualified.

The Party reiterates that only the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC, acting through its duly authorized channels of communication, is empowered to announce the list of candidates emerging from its primary elections and other constitutionally prescribed processes.
