The All Progressives Congress (APC) has disowned what it described as the purported “Concluded List of APC Senatorial Candidates So Far” currently circulating on social media and some online platforms.

The party reiterated that only the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC, acting through its duly authorised channels of communication, is empowered to announce the list of candidates emerging from its primary elections and other constitutionally prescribed processes.
