ADC Candidate Pledges to End Corruption in Rivers State

The ADC candidate for Rivers State has stated that the party will work to end corruption and improve governance in the state. The candidate expressed concerns about the political landscape since 2012, particularly under former Governor Chibuike Amaechi, which has negatively affected governance and citizen welfare.

The candidate noted that from 2013 to 2016, political issues hindered development, leading to a lack of foreign and local investments, which in turn created unemployment. The candidate emphasized the need to create an enabling environment for investment and highlighted the severe security issues in Rivers State, particularly in Port Harcourt, where the presence of armored vehicles indicates a deteriorating security situation.

The candidate aims to address corruption to ensure that wealth generated in the state benefits the populace rather than a select few. The focus is on creating jobs and fostering a more unified political and ethnic landscape to enhance development.
