The MHA Campaign Organization has rejected claims by the General Nuhu Angbazo campaign that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship primary in Nasarawa State has been concluded, insisting that due process must be followed and that the process remains open pending review of ward results.

In a statement signed by its Secretary and dated May 31, 2026, the MHA Campaign described the Angbazo camp’s recent press release as “false and misleading” and urged Nigerians to await official communication from the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

The group argued that the NWC is the only body empowered by the ADC National Executive Committee (NEC) at its 101st meeting of May 29, 2026, to approve primaries.

According to the MHA Campaign, NEC approved all primaries except those with pending appeals as of that date, and Nasarawa’s governorship primary falls into the latter category.

The MHA Campaign listed three points it said dislodge the “wait for declaration” defense by the Angbazo camp:

1. *No official declaration yet*: It said the announcement by the Dalung-led primary committee was rejected by delegates and agents due to the cancellation of valid ward results in Karu Local Government Area. The group argued that an announcement made under protest does not constitute an official declaration by the ADC and that NEC has not ratified it.

2. *Documented ward results vs. “fake news” claims*: The campaign said the figures dismissed by the Angbazo camp as speculative are ward results collated, signed, and stamped by ADC party agents and electoral officers at polling units, and were submitted to the committee. It said asking people to disregard those documents amounts to asking them to disregard their own votes.

3. *Due process over peace claims*: While affirming belief in “One Nasarawa, One People,” the group said unity cannot be built on cancelled ward results. “Peace without due process is fear. Democracy without counted votes is selection,” it stated.

The MHA Campaign called on the ADC NWC to urgently review all valid ward results collated across the state’s 13 local government areas, including Karu, and to complete collation transparently.

It also urged the media to report that NEC has not approved the Nasarawa governorship primary due to a pending appeal, describing that as “not propaganda, but conclusion.”

The organization appealed to supporters to remain calm and law-abiding as the party follows its processes, stressing that “the mandate belongs to the people, not to press releases.”

“No amount of ‘fake news’ labeling can erase signed ward result sheets. The truth is in the documents, not in headlines. ADC must be different. Let due process speak,” the statement concluded.
