NDC Distances Itself From Alleged Endorsement of PDP’s Ifeanyi Odii in Ebonyi

The Nigeria Democratic Congress in Ebonyi State has dismissed claims that it endorsed Peoples Democratic Party governorship aspirant Chief Ifeanyi Odii ahead of the 2027 election.

The party maintained that it is fully committed to supporting its own governorship candidate in the state.

Speaking on the issue, Ebonyi State Chairman of the NDC, Hon. Enyinnaya Udensi Alum, alleged that those behind the reported endorsement were former party members expelled for alleged financial impropriety and anti-party conduct.

He stressed that the NDC would not support or endorse candidates from other political parties under any circumstance.

According to him, party faithful and supporters should disregard the endorsement claims because they do not reflect the position of the NDC.

“Information reaching me, Hon. Prince Alum Enyinnaya Udensi, the Ebonyi State Chairman of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), is that a few former members of the party, who were sacked over financial impropriety and anti-party activities, are purportedly going to endorse one of the factional governorship candidates of the PDP on behalf of the NDC,” Alum said.

He added: “Ebonyians, NDC members and other teeming supporters of the NDC in the state should note that the Nigeria Democratic Congress in Ebonyi State has its governorship candidate and that the party has not, and will at no time, endorse any candidate other than the NDC governorship candidate.”

The chairman also warned members against attending any event linked to the alleged endorsement.

“NDC members are hereby requested not to attend any such gathering as it amounts to anti-party activities, while the general public is asked to desist from dealing with the said individuals as they are no longer NDC members and do not represent the Nigeria Democratic Congress,” he stated.

The party reaffirmed its commitment to preparations for the 2027 governorship election, insisting it would present its own candidate to the people of Ebonyi State.
