Ahead of the 2027 general elections, a faction of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in Rivers State, led by its national Chairman, Ibe Kachikwu, has aligned with the Rainbow Coalition formed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.
In a viral video, the ADC Secretary in Ikwerre Local
Government Area of the state, Samuel Chuku, was heard saying that they were
instructed by their national leader to back Wike’s coalition ahead of the 2027
general elections.
The party leaders, at an engagement meeting in Isiokpo, the
headquarters of Ikwerre Local Government Area, said they will work with the
Rainbow Coalition for the coming elections.
The faction insisted that they remained the authentic
leaders of the ADC in the council and would continue to align with the
coalition pending the resolution of the leadership dispute by the Supreme
Court.
They urged loyalists of the former Rivers State Governor,
Rotimi Amaechi, to stop parading themselves as executive members of the party.
Samuel said, “Our leader, Ibe Kachikwu, has directed ADC in
Rivers to align with coalition led by Nyesom Wike. We are aware that some
persons are parading themselves as ADC leaders in Ikwere Local Government.
“We are here to tell those people that they are intruders.
They want to reap from where they did not sow.
“ADC leadership has directed that we should align with the
coalition headed by Wike pending when the Supreme Court will decide who should
be the authentic national”.
