The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Ebonyi State chapter, has said it was not part of the purported endorsement of the 2027 governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Ifeanyi Odii.
The party stated that the purported endorsement is allegedly being master-mInded by sacked officials of the NDC in the state.
Speaking to journalists on Friday in Abakaliki, the Chairman of the NDC in Ebonyi State, Enyinnaya Alum, said the party has no intention of endorsing any politician in the nearest future in the state, other than its gubernatorial candidate.
He called on all NDC faithful in the state and supporters to steer clear from the purported endorsement, adding that the move was antithetical to the tenets and principles of the party.

He said: “Information reaching the Ebonyi State 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 tomorrow or soon after.
“Ebonyians, NDC members and other teaming 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 other candidate of any party other than the NDC governorship candidate.
“NDC members are hereby requested not to attend any such gathering as it amounts to anti-party activity, while the general public is asked to desist from dealing with the above named individuals as they are no longer NDC members and do not represent the Nigeria Democratic Congress.”
