DISCLAIMER: NDC Disowns John Paul Anih

•Says he’s neither Enugu State Chairman, nor Represents Party

The attention of the National Working Committee (NWC) and entire leadership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has been drawn to the nefarious activities of a certain John Paul Anih who is purporting to be the Enugu State Chairman of NDC, there by impersonating the authentic and legally recognised Enugu State Chairman, in the person of Engr. Ibuchukwu Obeta.

Apart from impersonating our state Chairman, the said Mr. John Paul Anih, we learnt also conducted a kangaroo state Congress where he allegedly installed himself as state chairman. He has also approached a court in Enugu, seeking to compel NDC to recognise him as our state Chairman for Enugu State.

Mr. John Paul Anih did not stop at that. While his case is yet to be heard, he went ahead to forge and reproduce copies of the NDC Expression of Interest Forms which he sold to unsuspecting prospects.
The NDC hereby warns unsuspecting members of the public that Mr. John Paul Anih does not represent the NDC in any category whatsoever, and whoever transacts any business with him on behalf of the NDC does so at his/her own risk.

Earlier today, we learnt that John Paul Anih has also seized the opportunity of the ongoing screening of aspirants by the party and set up what he called an aspirant screening Committee for Enugu State, which he is using to further defraud and extort some gullible politicians.
For the avoidance of doubt, the National leadership of the NDC has set up screening committees to screen aspirants for the state houses of assembly across the 36 states of the Federation. The three-man team for Enugu State comprises the following:
1. Hon. Sylvester O. Nwankwo – Chairman
2. Barr. Ifeanyi Emmanuel Agbom- Secretary
3. Ngene Helen Funmilola - Member

Any other person outside of the above mentioned, purporting to be a member of the Enugu State House of Assembly aspirants screening Committee is a fraud and should be treated as such.

We reiterate that John Paul Anih is a fraud, does not represent the NDC, and is not by any stretch of the imagination, the Enugu State Chairman of NDC.

NDC Unveils Screening Committees For House of Assembly Aspirants

As The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) begins the screening of aspirants for the various states Houses of Assembly today, the party’s leadership has announced the constitution of screening committees to oversee the process in the all the 36 states of the Federation.

In a memo jointly signed by the party’s National Chairman, Sen. Moses Cleopas Zuwoghe and National Secretary, Ikenna Morgan Enekweizu Esq., the NDC spelt out the guidelines for the screening exercise, which is to run from Saturday, May 23, 2026, through Monday May 25, 2026.

According to the communication, aspirants will be evaluated for character, capability and capacity to win election, among other criteria. NDC said that for any aspirant to be deemed worthy of purchasing the party’s nomination form, he or she must be a financially up to date member of the party, and must show evidence of contribution to the growth of the party.

Such aspirant, the memo said, apart from meeting the constitutional requirement for the office being sought, must also not have a criminal record or be under investigation or trial by any anti-graft agency.

The party also warned that any aspirant who is accompanied by thugs and miscreants to the venue of the screening stands the risk of being disqualified.
The screening committees are made up of three members each for every state, comprised of a Chairman, a Secretary and one Member.

The approved list of membership of the committees is as follows (attached):
