Rivers state chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has played down the overbearing influence of the ‘Rainbow Coalition’, a political movement associated with the minister of the federal capital territory, FCT, Barr Nyesom Wike.
The party said that democracy thrives only on competition, and every political party has the constitutional right to seek the mandate of the people.
Making the view of the party known on Thursday, the state chairman of the ADC, Dr. Chukwudi Dimkpa said “while we welcome the emergence of new political movements, the ADC remains focused on building a strong grassroots structure, presenting credible candidates, and offering practical solutions to the challenges facing Nigerians”.
Dimkpa said the party’s strategy was not built around fighting any particular party but around connecting with the people. “Nigerians are increasingly interested in competence, credibility, and capacity.
