ADC Chieftain Pushes for Ogoni-born Gov in Rivers

Blessing Ibunge in Port Harcourt

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Joe Korka-Waadah, has called on the Board Chairman of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Senator Magnus Abe, and other stakeholders to push for an Ogoni-born governor in the 2027 general election in Rivers State.

Korka-Waadah, a political management consultant and executive director of Compassionate Heart Foundation of Canada, made the call while speaking with journalists in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

The ADC chieftain, who is also an Ogoni indigene, said: “While we respect the Senator’s long career in the corridors of power, we must state clearly that the line between deliberate coordination and permanent political procrastination has become blurred in his narrative.
