In a twist that has thrown Nigeria’s political circles into confusion, a full list of purported African Democratic Congress (ADC) state chairmen has surfaced online, naming coordinators across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Several media outlets published the list on July 9 and 10, 2025, sparking intense debate among party members and supporters. However, the ADC’s national leadership has swiftly disowned the publication, describing it as unauthorised and potentially fraudulent.

ADC Responds: This List Is Fake
Reacting to the viral publication, ADC’s National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi issued a statement strongly denying any link to the document. The ADC is not aware of this list. It did not emanate from the National Secretariat. We caution the public against falling victim to scammers who may exploit such fake lists to solicit funds or personal data,” Abdullahi warned.
