ADC's Pidomson Declares 2027 Election a People's Referendum
Dr. Gabriel Pidomson, the governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State, stated on Thursday that the people of Rivers will reject any attempts to impose a governor on them in the upcoming 2027 election. He emphasized that the election would not merely be a contest between candidates but a referendum on who should govern the state.
Pidomson directly criticized the political camp associated with former governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, asserting that Rivers State is not the private estate of any individual or political group. He expressed confidence that the ADC would surpass the influence of the Rainbow Coalition in the election, claiming that the electorate is "morally angry" over Wike's dominance and is ready for change.
Pidomson challenged Wike's camp to identify any significant projects that the former governor has brought to Rivers since taking on his ministerial role.
