ADC Candidate Pidomson Vows to Confront Election Rigging

Gabriel Baritulem Pidomson, the governorship candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), was recently filmed traveling with a group of men in traditional attire, believed to be associated with traditional practices. This appearance follows his strong statements against election rigging, where he declared he would not seek legal recourse but would confront those responsible directly.

Pidomson stated, “If you rig my results and I know you, I will follow you after the election.” His comments come amid allegations of harassment against ADC members and concerns about potential interference in the 2027 electoral process. He accused a group he referred to as “Rainbow Confusion” of planning to manipulate the election by hijacking materials and producing false results.

Pidomson emerged as the ADC candidate after winning the party's primary election in May, securing 112,086 votes against four other aspirants across Rivers State's 23 local government areas.
