NDC Candidates Clash Over Edo South Senatorial Ticket
A dispute has arisen within the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding the senatorial ticket for the Edo South Senatorial District in the 2027 National Assembly election. Two candidates, Epelle-Asemota Bridgitte Osayuki and Sunny Aguebor, are both asserting their claims to the ticket.
The conflict originated from discrepancies in the candidates' information uploaded on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal. While Osayuki's name and particulars were listed, the accompanying photograph was that of Aguebor.
This inconsistency has led to confusion among party members and supporters about who the legitimate NDC candidate is. Aguebor has publicly stated that he is the authentic candidate, attributing the discrepancy to a possible error or mischief in the information upload.
Osayuki, whose details were correctly listed, chose not to comment extensively, indicating that the matter is being addressed by both the party and INEC.
