Pidomson Vows Rivers Voters Will Reject Leadership Imposition

Dr. Gabriel Pidomson, the Rivers State governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), asserted that the 2027 governorship election will be a pivotal moment for voters to choose their leader. He emphasized that the election should reflect the desires of Rivers voters rather than be influenced by political alliances.

Pidomson declared that Rivers State is a collective asset of its citizens, not a private estate. He expressed confidence in building broad support across the state and criticized the emerging Rainbow Coalition, claiming that true public sentiment lies with the ADC.

Pidomson outlined his 10-point policy agenda focused on the welfare and development of Rivers State and announced plans to deploy ADC agents at polling units to ensure electoral monitoring. He urged security agencies to protect citizens' rights during the election and condemned any attempts to restrict political activities.

Addressing opposition from some Ogoni leaders, he maintained that voters would ultimately make their own choices.
