PDP dismisses reports on disqualification of candidates in Lagos

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has dismissed reports on the disqualification of some of its candidates by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The party’s Publicity Secretary in the state, Hakeem Amode, in a statement issued on Monday evening, described the reports as the handiwork of mischief-makers.

Reports emerged last week that 21 out of the 40 PDP House of Assembly candidates for the 2023 elections were allegedly disqualified over controversies arising from its primaries.
