ABUJA — The governorship primary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State has been thrown into turmoil after aspirant Allen Idaso Ezekiel-Hart rejected the outcome and accused former governor Rotimi Amaechi of imposing a candidate.

Ezekiel-Hart described the exercise as a “shambolic charade” and said it had produced three separate governorship “winners” within the same party.

“Right now, we have three governorship candidates in one party, all thanks to Amaechi’s high-handedness,” he told journalists in Abuja on Tuesday.
