The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has warned the public against a series of fraudulent online links and social media handles claiming to be the party’s official membership registration platform.
This was contained in an official statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi on Sunday.
According to the statement, the ADC clarified that it has not launched any public online membership registration link.
The statement emphasized that all links being circulated should be completely disregarded.
The party further explained that it is in the process of developing an official membership registration and verification platform, which will be formally announced through verified party channels in due course.
“ADC will never request payments or sensitive personal information through unofficial links, WhatsApp messages, direct messages, or third-party websites,” the statement read.
The ADC also gave clear instructions to the public on how to protect themselves from scams.
“The public is advised not to click on suspicious or unverified links, not to share unconfirmed registration messages, and not to submit personal information including name, phone number, Permanent Voter Card (PVC) details, Bank Verification Number (BVN), or payment information on any unverified platform. Any suspicious links should be reported to the ADC through official party communication channels.”
“All legitimate ADC announcements, including the launch of the official membership registration platform, will only be communicated through verified ADC platforms and formal statements from the party leadership,” the statement added.
The party assured that it is actively addressing the issue and will take all necessary steps to protect the public and preserve the integrity of the party.
