Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt
Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), in Rivers State, Dr. Chukwudi Dimkpa, has dismissed as misleading the claims made by one of the governorship aspirants, alleging that the conduct of the party’s governorship primary held on May 24, 2026 in the state was manipulated in favour of certain persons.
One of aspirants, Allen Ezekiel-Hart was allegedly quoted as saying that he would pursue all grievances within the party’s constitution and warned his fellow contestant in the primary, Dr Farah Dagogo against invoking the former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s name to bolster his claim of victory at the primary election.
“We will exhaust every legal channel within the party. I will not rock the boat unnecessarily, but the party must recognise that I won the primaries,” he said.
Putting the record straight yesterday, Dr. Dimkpa stated that the party leadership remained fully committed throughout the exercise to transparency, fairness, and strict compliance with the constitution and electoral guidelines of the ADC.
