The African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Rivers State has dismissed allegations that its governorship primary election held on May 24, 2026, was manipulated to favour a preferred aspirant.
Chairman of the party in the state, Chukwudi Dimkpa, described the claims as false and misleading, insisting that the exercise was conducted transparently and in line with the party’s constitution and electoral guidelines.
One of the governorship aspirants, Allen Idaso Ezekiel-Hart, had alleged irregularities in the conduct of the primary and maintained that he won the contest.
Ezekiel-Hart also warned fellow aspirant, Farah Dagogo, against invoking the name of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to support claims of victory in the exercise.
