Some list purported to be the candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC in Lagos State for the forthcoming Local Government election flying around on social media are said to be fake.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has said that it has not released the names of its candidates for the July 22, 2017 local government council election.
According to a statement by the Assistant Publicity Secretary of the party, Abiodun Salami, on Monday, said the list would be released after the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission would have concluded the screening of the aspirants.
It explained that the screening would be concluded by July 6, 2017.
The statement said, “We shall release the authentic list of our candidates in the 20 local government areas and the 37 local council development areas after the release of LASIEC’s screening results, in conformity with the electoral guidelines.
Salami debunked a newspaper publication which said the party had released the names of its candidates for the election.
