The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has reassured its members, supporters, and the people of the state that it remained strong, united, and firmly committed to delivering people-oriented leadership and good governance.
ADC chairman-elect in the state, Dr. Chukwudi Dimkpa in a statement in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, said that the strength of the party lies not in individuals, but in its values, structures, and the collective will of the people.
The party was reacting to the recent defection of former presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
“Our party is built on integrity, inclusiveness, and service to the people. What we are building in Rivers State is bigger than any individual. The ADC remains the platform for credible leadership and a new direction for our state,” Dimkpa said.
He noted that this moment presents an opportunity to further deepen grassroots mobilization and strengthen its structures at ward, local government, and state levels.
The party reiterated that Rivers people were ready for a new direction, driven by
accountability in leadership, economic opportunity, social justice and inclusive governance.
Accordingly, the party is positioning itself as a credible alternative that offers real hope, real leadership, and real solutions to the challenges facing the state.
Dimkpa said: “The ADC is bringing a breath of fresh air into the political space in Rivers State. We are focused on providing relief, restoring dignity, and building a future of shared prosperity for all.”
He called on all members and supporters to remain steadfast, united, and committed, while urging well-meaning Rivers people who are yet to join the movement to take advantage of the ongoing registration process.
“This is the time to be part of a movement that puts the people first,” the ADC chairman-elect said.
