ADC warns public to disregard fake news over Lagos state party leadership

By Sola Adeyemo

The Director of Communications, ADC Lagos State, Mabel Oboh, has urged the public to disregard a fake news circulating on social media, purporting to show a meeting between the party’s National Secretary, HE Rauf Aregbesola, and some individuals claiming to be representatives of the party.

According to Oboh, the individuals in the photograph are actually expelled former members of the party who were removed due to gross misconduct. They had visited the National Secretary weeks ago to appeal for readmission into the party, and the photograph taken during that meeting is now being misrepresented as an endorsement of their group.

Oboh described this act as a fraudulent misrepresentation of the purpose and nature of the audience granted them by the Party’s National Secretary. She reaffirmed that the duly elected and recognised leadership of ADC Lagos State is led by Chairman George Ashiru, Secretary Hon. Festus Duru, and Organising Secretary Dr. Mohammed Ogidi.

The Director of Communications warned the public not to be misled and advised those unsure about the party’s leadership to contact the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) or the ADC national office in Abuja for verification.
