ADC Launches Campaign Council to Tackle Governance Issues

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has committed to challenging godfatherism and poor governance in Rivers State as it prepares for the 2027 governorship election. The party inaugurated a 600-member Rivers State Governorship Campaign Council on Monday in Port Harcourt, chaired by Senator Andrew Uchendu, with Hon. Chimbiko Akarolo as Director-General.

ADC Chairman Chief Chukwudi Dimkpa urged council members to adhere to the party's constitution and Nigerian laws while executing their campaign duties. Uchendu criticized political leaders for prioritizing personal interests over governance, claiming that the current administration under Governor Siminalayi Fubara has failed to address essential public services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

He emphasized that the ADC aims to provide an alternative government that allows the executive, legislature, and judiciary to function independently, ensuring that the needs of the people are met without interference from political disputes.
